I struggled with algebra at school & would love to know how to do these sort of calculations. My guesswork (which could be very wrong!) is that the average of 0 and 60 is 30 so if I assume the whole time is spent averaging (doing) 30mph, multiply the distance travelled at 30mph (about 13.3 metres per second) by 2.6 to arrive at a figure of 34.66 metres. Having never been in a racing car or dragster I don't know if this figure seems about right. I know my own car can reach 60 in 13 seconds and using the same method gives 173 metres which seems roughly what I'd expect.

How fast would the you be traveling if you went 60 ft 6 in in 3 seconds?

Multiply by 20 to get how far is traveled in a minute, which gets 1210 feet per minute. Then multiply by 60 to get how far is traveled in an hour, which gets 72600 feet per hour. Divide by 5280 to convert feet to miles, which gets 13.75 miles per hour.


How far will a car travel when accelerating to 30 mph?

It depends on the rate of acceleration. A top fuel dragster can accelerate at 160 ft/s2. That means it can hit 30 mph (44 ft/s) in about 0.3 seconds. From a standing start, assuming constant acceleration, it will have traveled only about 20 feet. Your mileage may vary.
