An automobile traveling along a straight road increases its speed from 37 ft/s to 54 ft/s in 180 ft.
If the acceleration is constant, how much time elapses while the auto moves the 180 ft?
Answer in units of s.


Sagot :

54 - 37 = 17 ft/seconds increased
If it started at 37 ft/s plus went 17 more ft/s during 180 ft consistently (then 17 seconds is what it would also take to go from 0 to 180ft so we can see it’s traveling faster than a foot per second). 180/17= 10.59 (rounded) seconds of travel would be 180 ft.
