Since the car had to begin initially at a certain point, therefore the initial velocity is equal to zero, Vi = 0. Vx will be the the fial velocity equal to 16.9 m/s. Time "t" is conditional. The equation for acceleration is a = Vf - Vi/t.
Formula: a = Vf - Vi/t
a = 16.9 m/s - 0/t
a = 16.9 m/s/t
Formula: a = Vf - Vi/t
a = 16.9 m/s - 0/t
a = 16.9 m/s/t
There is no Vx(t). So let us assume it is = (0.910 m/s^3)t^2.
Since a = dv/dt,
a(t) = 0.91*2t = 1.82t
To look for the t at which v = 16.9 m/s
16.9 = 0.91*t^2
t = sqrt(16.9/0.91) = 4.31 s
a(4.31) = 1.82*4.31
=~7.84 [m/s^2] would be the answer.
