The distance traveled by the car with uniformly accelerated movement is equal to


s=v0t+at2/2s=v_0t+at^2/2 ,


where v0v_0 - initial speed,

a - acceleration.

t - time.

Since initial speed is zero, the acceleration of the car is


a=2s/t2=2110/5.212=8.1 m/s2a=2s/t^2=2\cdot110/5.21^2=8.1\space{m/s^2}


Answer: 8.1 m/s28.1\space{m/s^2}
