With this project we will put our knowledge in practice by applying it to real life problems
Using the kinematic equations with the given acceleration we are going to get: - Average velocity - Distance traveled (to get to a certain velocity) - Distance traveled (the same time)
Acceleration
Vf=27.77 m/s
Vi=0
V= v(i)+ at
Distance Traveled
Xf=103.21
Xf=Xi+(Vi)(t)+1/2at2 (cancel the initial x and initial v) Xf=1/2at2 Xf= (3.67)(7.5) 2 /2 Xf= 103.21 m
Vi=0 Xi=0
Average Velocity
Vi=0
Distance Traveled
t = 15sec a= 3.67m/s2

Conclusions
In 7.5 seconds from rest to reaching the velocity of 100km/h it reaches an acceleration of 3.67m/s2
Acceleration
Distance Traveled
When the car reaches that acceleration it has traveled 103.21 meters.
x= (3.67)(7.5) 2 /2 x= 103.21

Conclusions
From rest to reaching a velocity of 27.77 m/s which takes t 10.4 seconds, it reaches 2.67 m/s2 of acceleration
Distance Traveled

Analiysing Performance
A hybrid car....
- is slower than a normal car - tooked more distance to get to have a certain acceleration - is more expensive - spends less money in gas (BMW car could travel more distance in the same amount of time than the Priusit but it will still use gasoline, specially when accelerating, so its better to buy a normal car.)
