A car accelerates to pass a truck going from 20 meters per second 29 in 3 seconds What is the acceleration?

To find the acceleration (a) of the car, we can use the formula:

Acceleration (a) = (Final velocity (v) - Initial velocity (u)) / Time (t)

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 meters per second

Final velocity (v) = 29 meters per second

Time (t) = 3 seconds

Substituting the values, we get:

a = (29 m/s - 20 m/s) / 3 s

Calculating the acceleration:

a = 9 m/s / 3 s

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 3 meters per second squared.
