A car starts from rest and achieves a speed of
54km/h in 3 seconds. Find its Acceleration?
Given: vi=
acceleration
• Solved Examples on Acceleration
Formula 
• Question- A woman is traveling by her sports
car at a constant velocity v = 5.00 m/s. When
she steps on the gas, it makes the car to
accelerate forward. Further, past 10.0 seconds,
she stops the acceleration and continues a
constant velocity v = 25.0 m/s. Calculate the
acceleration of the car.
