Question

Starting from rest, a dragster travels a straight 1/4 mi racetrack in 7.10 s with constant acceleration. What is its velocity when it crosses the finish line?

Answer 1

268.6567 mph  is its velocity when it crosses the finish line

d=(v1+v2 /2) x t

.25=(0+v2 /2) x 6.7/3600 hours

900=v2/2 x 6.7

v2=268.6567 mph as the speed with which the dragster crosses the finish

When acceleration is not zero, can speed remain constant?

The answer is that an accelerated motion can have a constant speed. Consider a particle travelling uniformly around a circle; it experiences acceleration since the motion's direction is changing, but it maintains a constant speed along the tangential axis throughout the motion.

Acceleration is the frequency of a change in velocity. Acceleration is a vector with magnitude and direction, much as velocity. For instance, if a car is moving in a straight path and speeding up, it is said to have forward (positive) acceleration, and if it is slowing down, it is said to have backward (negative) acceleration.
