First convert from mi/h to ft/s. There are 5280 ft to 1 mi, and 3600 s to 1 h, so
36 mi/h = (36 mi/h) * (5280 ft/mi) * (1/3600 h/s) = 52.8 ft/s
Let <em>a</em> be the acceleration of the car. The car's speed at time <em>t</em> is
<em>v</em> = 52.8 ft/s + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>
so that after 5.4 s, it attains a speed of
<em>v</em> = 52.8 ft/s + (5.4 s) <em>a</em>
Recall that
<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>
where <em>u</em> is the car's initial velocity and ∆<em>x</em> is the distance it's traveled.
We have
(52.8 ft/s + (5.4 s) <em>a</em>)² - (52.8 ft/s)² = 2 <em>a</em> (595 ft)
Omitting units, this equation reduces to
(52.8 + 5.4 <em>a</em>)² - 52.8² = 1190 <em>a</em>
==> 29.16 <em>a</em>² - 619.76 <em>a</em> = 0
==> 29.16 <em>a</em> - 619.76 = 0
==> 29.16 <em>a</em> = 619.76
==> <em>a</em> ≈ 21.25 ft/s²

Explanation:
Im trying to ask someone but no one knows :(
We know that acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects. But if we drop a flower petal and a hammer from the same height, the hammer falls faster. Why does this happen?
Let me try to explain. The petal falls slower as the resistance it faces by air slows it down much more. Even though the hammer is also affected by this resistance, the speed decrease is negligible due to its weight.
To simplify, a petal is much lighter than a hammer. Even though gravity accelerates them at the same speeds, the petal slows down due to air resistance but the hammer doesn't, as its weight counteracts the air resistance.
I may be confusing at times, so please ask me if you want anything clarified :)
Hope this helps you!
