Question

Is it possible that the car could have accelerated to 55mph within 268 meters if the car can only accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 15 seconds?

Answer 1

60 - 0/ 15 = 4 m/s^2

Answer 2

depends what the initial velocity was...

Answer 3

if initial velocity is 54 mph then it is very possible

Answer 4

and the car starts from rest @lgbasallote

Answer 5

where did it say that?

Answer 6

as far as my English is concerned, i do not see "car starts from rest"

Answer 7

probably...not possible..

Answer 8

@lgbasallote u see 0 to 60 mph in 15 seconds?

Answer 9

hm....i have done a mistake

Answer 10

it CAN accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 15 seconds

Answer 11

i have nt changed the same

Answer 12

hm.....

Answer 13

i will rewrite

Answer 14

but it doesnt say the ACTUAL intial velocity of the car

Answer 15

First convert meter into miles

Answer 16

The car can accelerate from 0 to in 15 seconds. Then maximum acceleration is

26.8/15 = 1.8m/s^2

Answer 17

it was asking if it was possible if a car accelerated TO 55 mph

that means there should be a from...so what is that from

Answer 18

and...From ur question ..... V^2 - u^2 = 2as

24.6 * 24.6 / 2 *268 = 1.13m/s^2 = a

Answer 19

This acceleration is less than the maximum possible acceleration, so the car can reach the speed 55 mph within 268 meters.

Answer 20

@KarlaKalurky Did u understand...

Answer 21

why did you divide 26.8 to 15s?

Answer 22

1 miles = 1609.34meter

Answer 23

why?
