What constant acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 20 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 3 seconds

Physics
1 answer:
sdas [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity

a = (51 - 20) / 3 = 10⅓ mi/hr/s

which should probably be converted to standard units.

10⅓ mi/hr/s(5280 ft/mi) / 3600 s/hr) = 15.15555... ≈ 15.2 ft/s²

which is roughly half the acceleration of gravity.
