Susie traveled at a speed of 60mph for 2 hours and then increased to 65mph in 1 minute. What was her rate of acceleration?
--------------
If you mean over the 1 minute, it's 5 mi/hr/min
Change the 5 mi/hr to ft/min, or ft/sec if needed.
----------
If you mean over the 2 hours + 1 minute, the avg accel = 5/121 mi/hr/min
