Question 96369
A funny car starts from rest and reaches a speed of 367 ft/sec in 5.5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the dragster for this quarter mile event? What is the average speed? I correctly solved the first part, but I do not know how to find average speed?
:
Av speed = {{{Distance/Time}}}
:
s = {{{.25/5.5}}} = .0454545 mi per second
or
.0454545 * 3600 = 163.3 mph
