Acceleration is sometimes measured in gs, where 1.0 g = 9.8 m/s 2 . How many gs

Question:

Acceleration is sometimes measured in g’s, where 1.0 g = 9.8 m/s2. How many g’s correspond to the steady acceleration of a car doing “zero to sixty”15 in 10.0 seconds? (A: 0.27 g)


Assume that on the surface of the Earth, g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2 (i.e., each to three significant figures). Make sure you are reporting the solution to the proper number of significant figures.
