Please explain why this is completely wrong and quite frankly doesn't make any sense?


Five acceleration test were conducted at a distance of 358 feet. The resulting average of those test showed an average of 7.87 seconds to accelerate to 50 mph. Based on those test I was able to calculate an acceleration factor of.359 and an acceleration rate of 11.55fps/s. Based on calculations it was determined that the ford expedition could obtain a speed of 99 mph in approximately 910 feet.

If you calculate the Time = Speed * Distance you get (9.19) ? Seconds 0-99? That's not possible for a ford expedition.

I don't even know how they calculated that acceleration either. I came up with completely different answers. Please help, I've spent hours trying the figuring this out and my mind is blown… Thanks
