if a sports car can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, what would be it's final speed after 6 seconds if it's starting speed was 30.0 mph?

Verrrrrry interesting !

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

The car's acceleration is  (60 mph) / (3.8 sec)  = (60/3.8)  mile/hr-sec .

Final speed = (original speed)  +  (acceleration · time)

                 = (30 mi/hr)  +  (60/3.8  mi/hr-sec)·(6 sec)

                 = (30)mi/hr  +  (360 / 3.8)mi/hr

                 =      124.7 mph .
