Chapter 2, Problem 36P

(a)

To determine

To show that the largest and the smallest average accelerations in Table 2.3 are correctly computed from the measured time intervals required for the cars to speed up from $0$ to $60\text{ mi/h}$.

(b)

To determine

The largest and the smallest average accelerations in Table 2.3 in standard SI unit.

(c)

To determine

The distance travelled by both cars as they speed up by modelling the accelerations as constant.

(d)

To determine

The time interval taken by the automobile to accelerate from zero to $60.0\text{ mi/h}$ with acceleration of magnitude $g$ .
