A dragster starting from rest accelerates at 49 m/s2. how fast is it going when it has traveled 325 m?

The working equation for this problem is a derived equation from the rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equation is written below:

2ax = v² - v₀²

where

a is the acceleration

x is the distance

v is the final velocity

v₀ is the initial velocity

Since the dragster starts from rest, v₀ = 0. Substituting the values:

2 (49 m/s²) (325 m) = v² - 0²

Solving for v,

v = 178.5 m/s
