Find the distance required for a car to reach a velocity of 60 m/s when the acceleration is 12 m/s^2.
\n" ); document.write( " Use the equation v = sqrt(2as) where v is the velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282%2Aa%2As%29+=+v\"$
\n" ); document.write( "v = 60; a = 12;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282%2A12%2As%29+=+60\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2824s%29+=+60\"$
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "24s = 60^2
\n" ); document.write( " 24s = 3600
\n" ); document.write( " s = 3600/24
\n" ); document.write( " s = 150 meters to accelerate to 60 m/sec
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
