A car accelerates from 2 m/s to 5 m/s in 1.8 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?

5-2 / 1.8 = 1.66m/s

Explanation:

acceleration = vf-vi / t

vf= 5m/s

vi= 2m/s

t= 1.8 s

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
