Physics Question

Name: Tuna 2010-08-25 19:16

I need help with a question.
I'm in Physics I and just getting into acceleration. Here is a question:

at a sports-car rallyy, a car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at rate of 9.0m/s^2 over a straight line distance of 100m The time to beat in this event is 4.5 s. does the driver do it? if not what must the minimum acceleration be to do so?

So acceleration = 9.0m/s^2
Distance = 100m
starting velocity is 0 (so i think)

what should i be doing next?

Dude...if I were moving 9m/s^2, my car would be shaking! 100m in 4.5s? No problem!
