The change in velocity is just the difference in the two velocities. So the difference between 12 m/s and 25 m/s can be calculated as:
52 m/s -30 m/s = 22 m/s
-This means that the car used an unknown acceleration to increase its velocity by 22 m/s.
-Acceleration is calculated by the formula: aav = Dv/Dt, so we can put the numbers in and get this:
a= (22/s) / (4sec)
Its acceleration is a= 5.5m/s/s
