B Force

C Velocity

D Speed

Verified Answer :

The answer would be D.

Answer:

a 2500 kg car moves at 150 m/\(s^{2}\) ; 150 m/\(s^{2}\) squared is the ___________ of the car

A Acceleration

B Force

C Velocity

D Speed

150 m/\(s^{2}\) is the acceleration of the car

Explanation:

What acceleration Entails

The acceleration of an object is the rate at which the velocity of the object is changing considering time as it is moving or navigating a distance. acceleration is a vector quantity and should not be confused with velocity. An object is decelerating when the acceleration of the object is reducing, a car that is trying slow down can be said to be decelerating.

Acceleration can be can calculated using the equation below;

Acceleration = \(\frac{change in velocity}{time}\).

Acceleration is measured in m/\(s^{2}\),  from the question, the acceleration can be identified from the units present in the parameters given. 150 m/\(s^{2}\) of the car.
