    Undergrad How Far Can a Car Travel When Accelerating from 0-81 mph?

    Averaging the acceleration yields a result of 271.37m to reach the 81mph (36.21m/s). It is a rough estimation, given that it should take more time to get that extra 19 mph from 81 to 100 mph than the 21 mph from 60 to 81 mph. Aerodynamic drag is proportional to the speed squared.
