Solution

The acceleration of an object can be calculated using the formula:

a = (v_f - v_i) / t

where: a = acceleration v_f = final velocity v_i = initial velocity t = time

In this case, the final velocity (v_f) is 25 m/s, the initial velocity (v_i) is 16 m/s, and the time (t) is 3.0 s.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

a = (25 m/s - 16 m/s) / 3.0 s a = 9 m/s / 3.0 s a = 3 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s².
