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

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.

the independent variable, or the one that is intentionally manipulated is the speed.

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
