Question 1001859: a is acceleration
v0 is initial velocity (speed),
v is final velocity
t0 is initial time,
t is final time
Units must be consistent.If the units for v and v0 are feet per second and the units for t and t0 are seconds
v=a(t-t0)+v0
A car was stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, the car reaches a speed of 68 miles per hour in 8 seconds. What is the acceleration, to 1 decimal place?
What is the final speed of a car that accelerates at 60 ft/s2 for 3 seconds if it's initial speed was 35 miles per hour, to 1 decimal place?
