There's no definitive answer to this since 0-60 times vary among all makes and models. And with so many cars coming out each year - very tough to answer. However; being that I like guesstimates I'll say the average 0-60 time for a car is 8.8 seconds.
20.0s
Average acceleration will be equal to instantaneous acceleration when an object has an uniform acceleration throughout its motion. Example : A car accelerating at 1m/s2 uniformly in a straight line.
the acceleration of the car is 1.179m/s/s given the formula provided.
The formula to calculate the car's average acceleration between 0 and 2.1 seconds is: Average acceleration (final velocity - initial velocity) / time interval This formula gives the acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s).
An example of average acceleration would be a car starting from a stop and gradually increasing its speed to 60 mph over a period of 10 seconds. The average acceleration of the car during this time would be calculated as the change in velocity divided by the time taken to achieve that change.

If a car is moving 42 meters per second after 6 sectons, the average acceletion is 7 meters per second per second. It is an average, given two points of data, and it is not the instantaneous acceleration at any point in time.
how much did an average car cost in 1996?
The car's average acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken. Here, the change in velocity is from 14 m/s to 25 m/s which is 11 m/s. Given that the time taken is 10 seconds, the average acceleration of the car is 1.1 m/s^2.
Average acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time interval)A = (9.0 - 9.5) / (3.5) = (-0.5) / (3.5) = 0.14286 meter/sec2
There is only acceleration if the car's velocity changes. If it moves at a constant velocity, then there is no acceleration.
From F=m*a, acceleration = force / mass Since mass is in the denominator, it would follow that the less mass there is, the greater the acceleration, force being equal. Although an average motorcycle has, perhaps, half the horsepower of a medium size car, it has MUCH less mass.
