Answer #1

As we know that the acceleration is the rate of change of an object's speed. In other words we can say that acceleration is something which tells us how fast velocity of an object changes.

We can find the acceleration of a moving object by the formula given below:

In this particular case, the speed is constant & the surface too doesn't has slope.

According to question, the values of initial & final velocities are given below :

Which can be calculated as below :

So, the actual acceleration is 0.2875 metre per second squared, which is in round figures is 0.29 metre per second squared, which the preferred answer.

Suppose you have a car traveling down the road at constant speed and not changing direction. It is experiencing gravity, wind resistance and frictional forces from the road. What can be said about the car's acceleration? Group of answer choices It is not accelerating because it has constant velocity. It accelerating because the motor is running, propelling the car forward. It is accelerating because there are forces acting on it. It is not accelerating because gravity holds it down.
