well we know that we have two speeds and a time. So,

initial speed = 80

final speed = 60

change in time = 6

Now acceleration in this case will be measured in kilometers per hour per second (i.e. every x seconds, y kilometers per hour are gained in speed)

So we simply apply the formula

Acceleration = (final speed - initial speed)/ change in time

= (80 - 60)/6

= 20/6

= 3.6666667 km/h/s

What is the acceleration of a car moving along a straight line path that increases its speed from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in ten seconds?

If you want to have that in meters per second square, convert the speed to meters per second (divide by 3.6 in this case). Then, divide the speed by the time.


How does a change in speed affect acceleration?

Acceleration is directly proportional to the change in speed. If the speed increases, acceleration is positive. If the speed decreases, acceleration is negative. The magnitude of acceleration is determined by the rate at which the speed changes.
