The Tesla Model S P85 electric car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.4 s, 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 s and 0 to 110 mph in 12.1 s. Estimate how far from the start (in meters) the car is at t=12.1 s. You are given limited information about the motion of the car, so you will need to make some reasonable assumption about how it accelerates. Describe what assumption you used to solve the problem.
