30. D mmh The Kentucky Derby is held at the Churchill Downs track in Louisville, Kentucky. The track is one and one-quarter miles in length. One of the most famous horses to win this event was Secretariat. In 1973 he set a Derby record that would be hard to beat. His average accelera- tion during the last four quarter-miles of the race was +0.0105 m/s². His velocity at the start of the final mile (x = +1609 m) was about +16.58 m/s. The acceleration, although small, was very important to his victory. To assess its effect, determine the difference between the time he would have taken to run the final mile at a constant velocity of +16.58 m/s and the time he actually took. Although the track is oval in shape, assume it is straight for the purpose of this problem.

hat number w.ww The word "units" refers to the corresponding quantity of something. For example, 2 is a number; 2 seconds is a physical quantity that has the units of second. In physics problems, are usually not looking for a number; we are looking for a need to also know the units. If you do not include units with the answer, you will not receive physical quantity, which means we full credit. Physicists are very nitpicky about this! 8.
