A drag car goes from a standing start and completes a quarter-mile race in 6.6 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car (in meters/second^2)?
Added by Melissa L.
Step 1
Given that the car completes a quarter-mile race, which is equivalent to 0.25 miles, we need to convert this into meters. 1 mile is equal to 1609 meters, so 0.25 miles is equal to 0.25 * 1609 = 402.25 meters. Show more…
