A car is traveling west at 22.5 m/s when it turns due south and accelerates to 25.0 m/s, all during a time of 8.00 s. Calculate the magnitude of the car's average acceleration (in m/s2).

Homework Answers

Answer #1

In order to find the magnitude of car's average acceleration we have to find the change in velocity then dividing by the time , we can find average acceleration.
