Question

you are building a race car. Your goal is to have a car that can go from 0 miles per hour to 80 miles per hour in 2 seconds. You are focusing on the car's

Answer 1

You want to focus on the car's acceleration.
(Hope this helps you! :) Have a nice day!)

Answer 2

Answer : Acceleration of the car is $17.89\ m/s^2$

Explanation :

Initial velocity of the car, u = 0 miles

Final velocity of the car, v = 80 miles/hour = 35.77 m/s

Time taken, t = 2 s

So, from the above data we are focusing on the velocity of the car w.r.t to time i.e. acceleration of the car.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{35.77\ m/s-0}{2\ s}$

$a=17.89\ m/s^2$

So, the car of the car is $17.89\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.
