To find the acceleration of the car, you can use the formula:

acceleration (a) = (final velocity (v) - initial velocity (u)) / time (t)

Given: Initial velocity (u) = 24 km/hr Final velocity (v) = 60 km/hr Time (t) = 10 s

First, let's convert the velocities from km/hr to m/s:

Initial velocity (u) = 24 km/hr * (1000 m/1 km) * (1 hr/3600 s) = 6.67 m/s Final velocity (v) = 60 km/hr * (1000 m/1 km) * (1 hr/3600 s) = 16.67 m/s

Now, we can calculate the acceleration:

Acceleration (a) = (16.67 m/s - 6.67 m/s) / 10 s = 1 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1 m/s².
