Question

A dragster needs to accelerate from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in a distance of only 20 m. Calculate the acceleration required.

Answer 1

Hey Harvey, you can use the following constant acceleration formula to find the acceleration required.
\[v^2=u^2+2ax\]
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity
- x is the distance
- a is the acceleration

Solve for a.
