You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It's acceleration.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "a = change in speed/time
\n" ); document.write( "= (34-22)/2.5
\n" ); document.write( "= 4.8 mi/hr/sec
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Not the usual units, change mi/hr to ft/sec
\n" ); document.write( "15 mi/hr = 22 ft/sec (I remember that, you can confirm it if you like)
\n" ); document.write( "4.8:15::v:22
\n" ); document.write( "15v = 105.6
\n" ); document.write( "v = 7.04 ft/sec
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "a = 7.04 ft/sec/sec
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
