Question

Given the following variables, how long would it take a vehicle to go from point A to point B in minutes and seconds (ie, 5 minutes and 25 seconds)?

-Straight track that is 12.42 miles long with a slope of 6.4%

-A car with an acceleration rate of 0.091g (2.93 ft/s2) and a top speed of 203 MPH.

Some kinematic equations:

d=v^2/2a

t=v_f/a

t=d_remaining/v_f

Answer 1

so time taken by the vehicle to go from point A to point B is 5minutes and 37 seconds.
