Question

A drag racer crosses the finish line at 132m/s what was the racers acceleration of his time was 3.94s

Answer 1

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning).

Change in speed = (132 m/s) - (zero m/s) = 132 m/s

Acceleration = (132 m/s) / (3.94 s)

Acceleration = (132/3.94) m/s²

Acceleration = 33.5 m/s² (about 3.4 G's)
