    Understanding Acceleration

    Understanding Acceleration Automobile reviews often cite a vehicle's "0 to 60 time," or the time it takes for a car to go from rest to 60 mph. For example, a "0 to 60 time" of under 5 seconds is considered fast. (For a list of 0-60 times, see http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-60times.html.) a. What is the a
