Solution

The acceleration of an object is calculated by the formula:

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time

In this case, the final velocity (v_f) is 16 meters/second, the initial velocity (v_i) is 4 meters/second, and the time (t) is 4 seconds.

So, the acceleration (a) would be:

a = (v_f - v_i) / t a = (16 m/s - 4 m/s) / 4 s a = 12 m/s / 4 s a = 3 m/s²

So, the car's acceleration is 3 meters per second squared.
