Problem 54GP

Does a real automobile have constant acceleration? Measured data for a Porsche 944 Turbo at maximum acceleration are as shown in the table.

a. Convert the velocities to m/s, then make a graph of velocity versus time. Based on your graph, is the acceleration constant? Explain.

b. Draw a smooth curve through the points on your graph, then use your graph to estimate the car’s acceleration at 2.0 s and 8.0 s. Give your answer in SI units. Hint: Remember that acceleration is the slope of the velocity graph.
