As a car traveling to the right passes you, you look at your
watch and measure the speed of the car. The watch reads 16.0
seconds. The speed of the car is 20 m/s. The car also starts to
accelerate at a constant rate when it passes you. 15 meters down
the road to the right, the
car is measured to be traveling at 10 m/s to the right.
What kind of a problem is this?
A force, non-constant acceleration
B motion, constant acceleration
C motion, non-constant acceleration
D force, constant acceleration
2.
What is the direction of the acceleration of the car?
