Question: Find the uniform acceleration that causes a car's velocity to change from 36 m/s to 96 m/s in an 8.0 s period.
To find the uniform acceleration that causes the change in velocity, you can use the formula for acceleration: \[ a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \] where: - \( \Delta v \) is the change in velocity, - \( \Delta t \) is the change in time. Given: - Initial velocity, \( v_i = 36 \text{ m/s} \) - Final velocity, \( v_f = 96 \text{ m/s} \) - Time period, \( t = 8.0 \text{ s} \) First, calculate the change in velocity (\( \Delta v \)): \[ \Delta v = v_f - v_i = 96 \text{ m/s} - 36 \text{ m/s} = 60 \text{ m/s} \] Now use the formula for acceleration: \[ a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{60 \text{ m/s}}{8.0 \text{ s}} = 7.5 \text{ m/s}^2 \] So, the uniform acceleration is \( 7.5 \text{ m/s}^2 \).
