Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1: Data given
  • Speed increased from rest to 50 mph in 34.8 sec
  • Speed increased from rest to 65 mph in 94.8 sec
  • Acceleration of vehicle = du over dt space equals space straight alpha space minus straight beta straight u subscript straight t

Find:

(a) The maximum acceleration of the vehicle.

(b) If the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 40 mph, how long will it take after the driver starts accelerating for the vehicle to achieve a speed of 45 mph
