A new car manufacturer advertises that their car can go from zero to sixty mph in 8 [s]. This is a description of

Sagot :

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

The fact that new can go from zero to 60mph in 8 secs is a description of its pick-up or in physics,  it's called acceleration.

Here initial velocity u= 0

final velocity v = 60 mph = 1m/minute.

or v =1609.344/60 = 26.82m/s

and time taken to do so is 8 sec

Acceleration a = (v-u)/t

a = (26.82-0)/8 = 3.35 m/s^2

Therefore, acceleration of the car a = 3.35 m/s^2.
