Simple acceleration example

One car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh-1 in 9 sec. Calculate acceleration and path if acceleration is constant.

v1=0 kmh-1
v2=100 kmh-1 =27,78 ms-1
t=9,0 sec

Solution:



where s is distance of car from starting position.

In reality car does not accelerate constantly, and with this example we calculated mid acceleration.
