Dragsters can achieve an average acceleration of 26.0 m/s2. Suppose a dragster accelerates from rest at this rate for 5.66 s. How far does it travel in this time? Dragsters can achieve an average acceleration of 26.0 m/s2 during one lap around the track which has a length of 804 meters. Calculate the final velocity of the dragster if it starts from rest.
