To determine the acceleration of the car, we need to know the initial velocity, final velocity, and the time taken. In this case, we have the final velocity as 950 m/s and the time taken as 1 hour.
However, we need to convert the time from hours to seconds because the SI unit for time is seconds. There are 3600 seconds in one hour.
So, the time taken is: 1 hour = 1 * 3600 seconds = 3600 seconds
Now we can calculate the acceleration using the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Since the car starts from rest (initial velocity is 0 m/s), the equation simplifies to:
acceleration = final velocity / time
Substituting the values:
acceleration = 950 m/s / 3600 s
Calculating the result:
acceleration ≈ 0.264 m/s² (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is approximately 0.264 m/s² when it has a velocity of 950 m/s in 1 hour.
