The dragster's velocity v at time t with constant acceleration a is
[tex]v=at[/tex]
since it starts at rest.
After 2.1 s, it will attain a velocity of
[tex]v=\left(44.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.1\,\mathrm s)[/tex]
or 92.4 m/s.
Doubling the time would double the final velocity,
[tex]v=a(2t)=2at[/tex]
so the velocity would be twice the previous one, 184.8 m/s.
The dragster undergoes a displacement x after time t with acceleration a of
[tex]x=\dfrac12at^2[/tex]
if we take the starting line to be the origin.
After 2.1 s, it will have moved
[tex]x=\dfrac12\left(44.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.1\,\mathrm s)^2[/tex]
or 88 m.
Doubling the time has the effect of quadrupling the displacement, since
[tex]x=\dfrac12a(2t)^2=4\left(\dfrac12at^2\right)[/tex]
so after 4.2 s it will have moved 352 m.
