- Alice is riding a bike at 12 mph, but decides to sprint. She takes 0.7 s to accelerate to 19 mph. At constant acceleration, calculate her acceleration, a/(ft/s2). (Here are possibly convenient conversion aids: 60 mph = 1 mi/min = 88 ft/s. This equation is exact. You may wish to verify the equation. One mile = 60*88 ft, and one hour = 60*60 s.)arrow_forwardThe position of an object moving along an x axis is given by x = 3.18 t-4.04 +1.03 t³, where x is in meters and t in seconds.

I tried taking the derivative, but that didn't give me the correct answer. I would really appreciate the help. When a 1984 Alpha Romeo Spider sports car accelerates in the x-direction at the maximum possible rate,its motion during the first 20. seconds is extremely well modeled by the simple equation vx2=(60 m2/s3)t, where t is time in seconds and vx is in m/s.
