Want this question answered?
If the car doesn't change direction during that 100 seconds, then it's zero. If the car's direction changes, then the acceleration isn't zero, but the question doesn't give any information from which to evaluate it.
When an object moves in a circular path, the velocity will change and the there will be acceleration.
It velocity is constantly increasing, v=vo + at.
When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration".
Observe that the object below moves in the negativedirection with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
Acceleration = 0 because the car is moving at a STEADY velocity. It is neither speeding up, nor slowing down.

There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.
Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero. Note: "100 km per h for 10 seconds" is a constant speed, but not necessarily a constant velocity, since we're told nothing about the direction. If the car moves in a perfectly straight line during those 10 seconds, then its velocity is constant. If it makes a curve, then its velocity is not constant even though its speed is, and there is acceleration.
It velocity is constantly increasing, v=vo + at.
The velocity increases at a constant rate.
When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration".
Observe that the object below moves in the negativedirection with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
The acceleration of an object with constant velocity is zero. It's force will be Mv^2 where M is it's mass and v is it's velocity.
An object moving with uniform acceleration has a uniform change in velocity over time, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight line with either a positive or negative slope. An object moving with no acceleration has constant velocity, and its velocity-time graph will be a straight, horizontal line with zero slope. Refer to the related link for illustrations.
When velocity changes, that means that the object either moves faster, or moves slower, or moves in a different direction. Any of these changes is called "acceleration". A force is necessary to cause it.
