1 G in acceleration is 32 feet per second, per second, right?
That means if I'm accelerating in my race car (which I plan to do tonight
at the local drag strip), with slicks.. if I cover 32 feet in < 1 second,
I've pushed for more than 1 G "off the line", and if I cover 96 feet in < 2
seconds, I've accelerated at more than 1 G for the first 100 feet,
basically, right?
(I'm making a bet that i can pull > 1 G in the first 60 feet of the track
with a friend, and he believes it is completely impossible for a street car
w/slicks to accomplish this)...
Just wanted to make sure my math was okay..
