A car accelerates from rest to a speed of 30 meters per second in 6 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car during this time?

To find the average acceleration of the car, we can use the formula:
average acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

Given that the initial velocity is 0 m/s, the final velocity is 30 m/s, and the time is 6 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:
average acceleration = (30 m/s - 0 m/s) / 6 s

Simplifying the equation, we have:
average acceleration = 30 m/s / 6 s = 5 m/s^2
