Question

A race-car prototype, is being testing for how quick will it attain an optimum velocity
of 51.3m/s completely from rest. The car is also expected to maintain the 51.3m/s velocity
thereafter.
a. Given than the target constant acceleration is 50.34 m
s
⁄ 2 from 0 to 51.3m/s, how quick
will it reach 1200km if the 51.3m/s, maintained during the initial acceleration? {Hint:
divide the solution into two parts, during the initial acceleration + during constant
speed. Steps are: 1) Solve for the time span during the acceleration phase, 2) Solve for
the total distance travelled during initial acceleration, 3) determine the remaining
distance to be covered at constant speed, 4) solve for the total time to cover #3, 5) add
the results of 3 and 5}. 
b. What must be the of acceleration of the car during the initial burst if it was able to reach
100m in just 3 seconds?
