At constant acceleration from rest, the distance traveled by a racecar is (directly) proportional to the square of the time elapsed. The highest recorded road-tested acceleration is 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.07 seconds, which means that in 2 seconds the car would have traveled 57.32 feet. Suppose the racecar was tested on a 1-mile drag strip and continued to accelerate at the same rate for the entire mile.a. Find the constant of proportionality.b. How long would it take for the racecar to reach the finish line?c. What would be the racecar's average speed?d. What would the graph of the distance traveled as a function of time look like?
