Thanks for the responses! #2 The problem statement seems to imply that the acceleration is not constant. This is why I am finding it tricky; all the equations I know are valid for constant acceleration. This is a calculus based course. I'm familiar with the basic derivative relationships...

Homework Statement "In a drag race a car starts at rest and attempts to cover 440 yd in the shortest possible time. The world record is 5.637s; the final speed was 250.69 mi/h at the 440 yd mark" a)What was the average acceleration? b)Prove that the car did not move with constant...
