The fastest speeds traveled on land have been achieved by rocket-powered cars. The current speed record for one of these vehicles is about 1090 km/h, which is only 160 km/h less than the speed of sound in air. Suppose a car that is capable of reaching a speed of 1090 km/h is tested on a flat, hard surface that is 25.0 km long. The car starts at rest and just reaches a speed of 1.09 × 103 km/h when it passes the 20.0 km mark. If the car’s acceleration is constant, how long does it take to make the 20.0 km drive?

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by  mathematical calculations  before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of  uranus  led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to   spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.
