Question

A drag racer starts her car from rest and accelerates at 10.9 m/s^2 for the entire distance of 226 m. How long did it take the car to travel this
distance? Answer in units of s.

Answer 1

u=0

a=10.9m/s^2

s=226m

v^2-u^2=2as

v^2=2 (10.9)(226)

v^2=49268

v=70.2m/s^2

v=u+at

70.2=0+10.9 (t)

70.2/10.9=t

t=6.44s
