$w = \frac{t(50) - t(20)}{50 - 20} = \frac{43.2 - 17.4}{50 - 20}$

$w = \frac{25.8}{30} = 0.86 \: sec \: per \: swing$

The results may differ due to resistive forces that may be affecting the system by decelerating it or any other external forces that might accelerate it a bit.Or the timing could be a little inaccurate.

a race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1m/s in 2.47 seconds detrrmine the acceleration of the car and distance tra

LenaWriter [7]

Because acceleration is constant, the acceleration of the car at any time is the same as its average acceleration over the duration. So

$a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{46.1\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-18.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.47\,\mathrm s}=11.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Now, we have that

${v_f}^2-{v_0}^2=2a\Delta x$

so we end up with a distance traveled of

$\left(46.1\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2-\left(18.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(11.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\Delta x$
