5. A car advertisement states that a certain car can accelerate from rest to 70 m/s in 7 seconds. Find the car's average acceleration.
O-0.10 m/s^2
10 m/s^2
-10 m/s^2
O 0.10 m/s^2

The car's average acceleration is .

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being vo the initial speed, a the constant acceleration, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

If we need to find the acceleration, we solve the above equation for a:

The car accelerates from rest (vo=0) to vf=70 m/s in t=7 seconds. Substitute the values into the formula:

The car's average acceleration is .

Note: The choices are not very clear, but the second choice seems to be the correct answer.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
