Question

A 2002 Ford Mustang gt can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m/s) in 4.9 s. If acceleration on the car is constant how far does the car travel in those 4.9 s?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 26.8 m/s

t = 4.9 s

Find: x

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

x = 0 + ½ (26.8 + 0) (4.9)

x ≈ 65.7

The car travels 65.7 meters (round as needed).
