Homework Statement
At highway speeds, a particular automobile is capable of an acceleration of about 1.6 m/s2. At this rate, how long does it take to accelerate from 83 km/h to 101 km/h?
Homework Equations
a = Change in Velocity / Change in time
The Attempt at a Solution
How do you use 1.6m/s^2 when you also have 83 km/h to 101 km/h?
I know that I need to subtract 83 from 101 (18 km/h). The car needs to increase its velocity by 18 km/h accelerating at 1.6 m/s. I don't know how to use the 1.6 m/s in the equation to show the total time
