The problem that follow involve straight-line motion. The time t is in seconds unless otherwise stated.
Problem
In September 2003, Tony Schumacher started from rest and drove a quarter mile (1320 ft) in 4.498 s in a National Hot Rod Association race. His speed as he crossed the finish line was 328.54 mi/h. Assume that the car's acceleration can be expressed by a linear function of time a = b + ct.
(a) Determine the constants b and c.
(b) What was the car’s speed 2 s after the start of the race?
