vavg = Δx/Δt = 1200m/17sec = 70.6 m/s v = v° + at => v/t = a => 70.59 m/s / 17 s = 4.15 m/s2

4.15 m/s2

I understand that, I just don't have a strong grasp of the relationships yet. If there was a tool that showed the relationships, or derivations, then it would be easier to understand.

This is the question: Assuming a constant acceleration and no slipping of tires, estimate the coefficient of static friction needed for a drag racer to cover 1.2km in 17s , starting from rest.

Homework Statement I am wondering if anyone knows of a document that shows derivations of specific values in Physics? For example, I need to find μs and am given the distance traveled and time (1.2 km in 17 sec). Homework Equations I know the equation for μs, Ffriction=μs⋅FN. The Attempt...

I'm taking College Physics (algebra based) as a prerequisite for medical school. I haven't been in math or science courses in a number of years and am hoping to find some help here. Thanks, Ben
