A man who owns one of Tesla’s models has filed a lawsuit against the car company due to an accident that caused him and a passenger to crash through his garage and into his living room – injuring both. He claims that the car accelerated on its own and created the accident.

This is related to Physics because if it’s initial velocity was 8.0m/s and the final was 12.0m/s in a time frame of 2.25 seconds, we could calculate its’ rate of acceleration before impact:

12.0-8.0÷3.25 = a

A = 1.23m/s^2
