Question 935911: The coast-down time y for a car as it drops 10 mph from an initial speed x depends on several factors, such as average drag, tire pressure, and whether the transmission is in neutral. The table gives coast-down time in seconds for a car under standard conditions for selected speeds.
Initial speed Coast-down time Initial speeed Coast-down time
(in mph) (in seconds) (in mph) (in seconds)
30 30 50 17
35 26 55 15
40 22 60 14
45 19 65 13
