Question
The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7 g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be required for the car to accelerate from rest to 60.0 miles per hour? (The car would need rocket boosters!)

60 miles per hour = 26.822 m/s a = 7g = 7(9.8) = 68.6 vf = v + at 26.822 = 0 + 68.6t t = 0.391 seconds Good Luck on your studies!
