# A car increases its forward velocity uniformly from 40 m/s to 80 m/s while traveling a distance of 200 m. What is its acceleration during this time?

A car increases its forward velocity uniformly from \(40 ~ \text{m/s}\) to \(80 ~ \text{m/s}\) while traveling a distance of \(200 ~ \text{m}\). What is its acceleration during this time?

- **A.** \(8.0 \, \frac{m}{s^2}\)
- **B.** \(9.6 \, \frac{m}{s^2}\)
- **C.** \(24 \, \frac{m}{s^2}\)
- **D.** \(12 \, \frac{m}{s^2}\)
