Let’s do a simple calculation, 100km over 60 minutes:
1.666--- km every minute
|
2 km every minute
|
Now lets convert this to seconds:
27.777--- meters / second
|
40 meters / second
|
Another problem with decimal is the fact that we have an odd half base.
As an example, when we look at a clock, the halfway points between the 5 second increments on their way up to 60 is fractional.
This is one of the problems of having an odd half base.

A car from rest accelerates at a steady rate over 9 seconds and reaches a total distance of 130 m.
Determine the acceleration of the car:
Determine the acceleration of the car:
Since we are starting at rest, we can plug the velocity top speed (Vt) directly into the acceleration formula
while leaving the initial velocity at 0 (Vi).
while leaving the initial velocity at 0 (Vi).
