A human-powered vehicle (HPV) team wants to model the acceleration during the 260 -m sprint race (the first 60 m is called a flying start) using a=A-C v^2, where a is the acceleration in m / s^2 and v is the velocity in m / s. From wind tunnel testing, they found that C=0.0012 m^-1 . Knowing that the cyclist starts from rest and is going 100 km / h at the 260 -meter mark, what is the value of A ? | Numerade
