Question 391534: I need some help please
What is the acceleration of a car that can go from 0 to 60 mi/h in 6.0 seconds? Your answer should be in mi/h^2.
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Acceleration = (change in velocity)/(change in time)
You must convert sec to hrs
sec x min / sec x hr / min = hrs
hrs
Just in terms of units, this is what I did:
(sec) x (min/sec) x (hrs/min)
The mins cancel and the secs cancel, leaving hrs
Acceleration = mi/hr2
