Chapter 2, Problem 62GP
Does a real automobile have constant acceleration? Measured data for a Porsche 944 Turbo at maximum acceleration are as shown in the table.
| t(s) | Vx(mph) |
| 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 28 |
| 4 | 46 |
| 6 | 60 |
| 8 | 70 |
| 10 | 78 |
a. Convert the velocities to m/s, then make a graph of velocity versus time. Based on your graph, is the acceleration constant? Explain.
b. Draw a smooth curve through the points on your graph, then use your graph to estimate the car's acceleration at 2.0 sand 8.0 s. Give your answer in SI units. Hint:
