Acceleration: A driver going down a straight highway is traveling 60 ft/sec (about 41 mph) on cruise control, when he begins accelerating at a rate of 5.2 ft/sec2. The final velocity of the car is given by + 60, where V is the velocity at time t. (a) Interpret the meaning of the slope and y-intercept in this context. (b) Determine the velocity of the car after 9.4 seconds. (c) If the car is traveling at 100 ft/sec, for how long did it accelerate?
