Okay, I found this website: http://webpages.charter.net/sinkwich/sdventure/html/sd_scale_speed.htm It has a scale speed converter. Given the time, 2.3 seconds, and the final velocity, 60mph, I was able to determine what I believe to be the distance traveled, roughly 2,429 inches. Using the...

Ah. Awesome. That makes more sense.

Here's a little more context which might shed more light on the subject... I'm trying to compare a Tesla P85D, which can apparently do 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds vs. a 1/7 scale Traxxas XO-1 electric RC car, which can apparently do 0-60 in an astonishing 2.3 seconds. Since both are electric...

I have what I'm assuming is a pretty simple question: I'm trying to compare the distance traveled by two vehicles given a time and acceleration. Specifically, I'm comparing a full-sized car (196" in length) that goes 0-60mph in roughly 3 seconds vs. a remote controlled car (27" in length) that...
