Question 1056557
Find the distance required for a car to reach a velocity of 60 m/s when the acceleration is 12 m/s^2.
 Use the equation v = sqrt(2as) where v is the velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance. 
:
{{{sqrt(2*a*s) = v}}}
v = 60; a = 12;
{{{sqrt(2*12*s) = 60}}}
{{{sqrt(24s) = 60}}}
square both sides
24s = 60^2
 24s = 3600
 s = 3600/24
 s = 150 meters to accelerate to 60 m/sec
