The Lamborghini Diablo sports car can accelerate from 0 kilometers/hour to 99.2 kilometers/hour in 4.0 seconds. What is the acceleration of this car in kilometers/hour^2. (hint: you must convert 4.0 seconds before putting it into the equation.)
99km/hr / 4sec * 3600sec/hr = 89100 km/hr^2
acceleration = (Change in velocity) / (time in hours)
4sec / (3600sec/hr) = 0.0011111 hour
accel = (99.2km/hr) / (0.0011111 hr)=89286km/hr^2
To find the acceleration of the Lamborghini Diablo sports car in kilometers per hour squared (km/h^2), we need to use the formula for acceleration:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
In this case, the initial velocity is 0 km/h, the final velocity is 99.2 km/h, and the time is 4.0 seconds.
To use this formula, we need to make sure that all the values are in the same unit. In this case, we need to convert the time from seconds to hours since the velocities are already in km/h. There are 3600 seconds in an hour, so we can convert the time as follows:
4.0 seconds * (1 hour / 3600 seconds) = 0.001111 hours (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Now that we have all the values in the same unit, we can calculate the acceleration:
acceleration = (99.2 km/h - 0 km/h) / 0.001111 hours
Simplifying the equation, we get:
acceleration = 89280 km/h / 0.001111 hours
Finally, calculating the acceleration:
acceleration ≈ 80,052,005.4 km/h^2
So, the acceleration of the Lamborghini Diablo sports car is approximately 80,052,005.4 km/h^2.
