On a roller coaster riders go from 0 to 100 miles per hour in 7 sec. Find the the acceleration of the roller coaster during this time interval in miles per second squared.
----------------------------------
The velocity is 100 (mile/hour) = 100 (mile/3600 seconds)=(100/3600)(mile/sec)
-----------------------
Velocity is [(1/36)(mile/sec)]/[7 sec] =[1/(7*36)](mile/sec^2]
=[(1/252)](mile/sec^2)
----------------
