Answer:

t = 1.68 min

S = 2.82 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the vehicle, u = 0

The final velocity of the vehicle, v = 203 mph

The average acceleration of the vehicle, a = 2.93 ft/s²

= 7191.82 miles/h²

Using the first equation of motion

v = u + at

t = (v - u) / a

= (203 - 0) / 7191.82

= 0.028 h

= 100.8 s

Thus, the time taken by the vehicle to reach the final velocity is, t = 100.8 s

Using the third equations of motion

S = ut + 1/2 at²

Substituting the values

S = 0.5 x 7191.82 x (0.028)²

= 2.82 miles

Hence, the distance traveled by the vehicle, S = 2.82 miles
