Hello Damien!

 

 

A dragster goes from 45 m/s to 85 m/s in a distance of 220 m. What is its average acceleration?

 

W = (v2² - v1²) * m /2 = m * a * s

 

a = (v2² - v1²) / 2 * s

a = (85² - 45²) m² / (sec² * 2 * 220m)

 

a = 11,818 m/sec²

 

The dragster accelerates with average 11.818 m/sec².
