A car traveling west at 15 m/s and speeds up to 20 m/s west in 5 seconds. Why is the acceleration of the car?

1 m/s

Explanation:

5m/s change in velocity, divided by 5 seconds= 1 meter/second/second

change in velocity/change in time

Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change)

that's = (change in speed and its direction) / (time for the change)

Change in velocity = (ending velocity) - (starting velocity)

Change in velocity = (20 m/s west) - (15 m/s west)

Change in velocity = 5 m/s west

Acceleration = (5 m/s west) / (5 seconds)

Acceleration = 1 m/s west

answer: 2×10^-2kg

explanation: density= mass per volume

vol=mass/density

converting to s.i units we have;

3÷1000kg = 0.003

1.5÷100m = 0.15

0.003/0.15 = 0.02kg
