What is the typical acceleration of a car?

[HarleyMarie]

Generally, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for a 1.6L compact sedan ranges between 11 to 13 seconds, while a 2.0T midsize sedan achieves it in 7 to 8 seconds. Supercars typically accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.8 seconds. Introduction: Acceleration is the ratio of the change in velocity to the time taken for that change (Δv/Δt). It is a physical quantity that describes how quickly an object's velocity changes, usually denoted by 'a'. Meaning: Acceleration is a vector quantity. Its direction aligns with the direction of the object's velocity change and matches the direction of the net external force. Principle: Specifically, acceleration describes the rate of change of velocity over time. It's important to note that since velocity is also a vector, an object with non-zero acceleration doesn't necessarily experience a change in speed (the magnitude of velocity). In fact, if acceleration remains perpendicular to velocity, the speed remains constant while the direction continuously changes.
