Thrustssc, the world's first supersonic car, accelerates from rest to 1000 km/h in 16 s.

The acceleration of the supersonic car is .

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the supersonic car, u = 0

Final speed of the supersonic car, v = 1000 km/h =

Time taken, t = 16 s

To find,

The acceleration of the car.

Solution,

The change in velocity per unit time of an object is called its acceleration. It is given by :

So, the acceleration of the supersonic car is . Therefore, this is the required solution.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
