Use the equation: v = u + at because it has all the variables given and need to find. First you must make sure units are the same. Acceleration is given in m/s^2. Check to make sure this is correct before using the following solution. Convert acceleration from meters per second squared to miles per hour squared.
look up conversion meters to miles 1 mile = 1609.34 meters 10.60 m/s^2 * 1mile/1609.34m = 0.0069 mi/s^2 there are 3600 seconds in an hour, then there are 3600s*3600s in 1 hr^2 0.0069 mi/s^2 * 3600s*3600s/hr^2 = 85362 mi/hr^2
Then using: v = u +at 60 = 55 + 85362t 60 - 55 = 85362t 5 = 85362t 5/85362 = t 5.9 x 10^-5 hr = t very small value in hours, multiply by 3600 to convert to seconds.
