The acceleration rate with that force acting is
a = F/m = 0.0417 m/s^2
89.2 km/h = 24.78 m/s is the speed you with to attain.
Solve this equation for the required time, t:
(1/2) a t^2 = 24.78 m/s
a = F/m = 0.0417 m/s^2
89.2 km/h = 24.78 m/s is the speed you with to attain.
Solve this equation for the required time, t:
(1/2) a t^2 = 24.78 m/s
