what constant acceleration, in si units, must a car have to go from zero to 60 mph in 10 s?

The constant acceleration that a car must have in order to go from 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds is 6.0 m/s². This acceleration is calculated using the equation:

a = (v2-v1)/t

Where a is the acceleration, v2 is the final velocity (60 mph = 26.82 m/s), v1 is the initial velocity (0 mph = 0 m/s), and t is the time interval (10 seconds). Plugging these values into the equation gives us 6.0 m/s² as the constant acceleration.
