A car is travelling with a velocity of "0.5t^2+t+2" m/s at t=0 (where t is in seconds), find the acceleration of the car at a) t=0 b)t=2

Acceleration can be described as the ' rate of change of velocity ' as it is simply how quickly the car is increasing/decreasing in velocity. Therefore as the velocity is described as an expression of t - ti...
