Respuesta :
Distance in Miles (.25) x 3600 (seconds in an hour) / time in seconds = 200 MPH. Drag racing calculates the top speed via a speed trap starting 66 feet from the finish line.
Answer: The speed of top fuel dragster is 200 miles/hr
Explanation:
We are given:
Speed of top fuel dragster = quarter mile in 4.5 seconds = 0.25 mil/4.5 sec
To calculate the speed of top fuel dragster in miles per hour, we use the conversion factor:
1 hr = 3600 seconds
Converting the speed in miles per hour, we get:
[tex]\Rightarrow (\frac{0.25mil}{4.5s}\times (\frac{3600s}{1hr})\\\\\Rightarrow 200mil/hr[/tex]
Hence, the speed of top fuel dragster is 200 miles/hr
