Question 1045744: Suppose a vehicle can accelerate from a stop to 100mph in 15 seconds. Let us assume that the acceleration was a constant rate (this would mean that the average speed during the time traveled was 50mph). Would the vehicle have traveled the quarter mile in this time? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose a vehicle can accelerate from a stop to 100mph in 15 seconds.
Let us assume that the acceleration was a constant rate (this would mean that the average speed during the time traveled was 50mph).
Would the vehicle have traveled the quarter mile in this time?
:
How far would it travel in 15 sec at an average speed of 50 mph?
Dist speed * time (3600 sec in 1 hr)
d = 50 * = .2083 mi, not quite .25 mi
