Chapter 2, Problem 2.2

(choose chapter or problem)

Andy Green in the car ThrustSSC set a world record of 341.1 m/s (763 mi/h) in 1997. The car was powered by two jet engines, and it was the first one officially to exceed the speed of sound. To establish such a record, the driver makes two runs through the course, one in each direction, to nullify wind effects. Figure 2.3a shows that the car first travels from left to right and covers a distance of 1609 m (1 mile) in a time of 4.740 s. Figure 2.3b shows that in the reverse direction, the car covers the same distance in 4.695 s. From these data, determine the average velocity for each run.
