What codes were stored in the computer? Apparently, there are no codes that came up? There was a code that advised that there was a problem with the EGR Valve, which was replaced in Dec. Exhaust and tailpipe apparently are fine. Have had the fuel filter and pump assy replaced, catalytic converter, belt tensioner, serp. and a/c belt and crank position sensor. The van still runs, but, feels that it is sluggish and I have to floor it just to get up a hill! Not being very familiar with the inside of vehicles, it is very frustrating. The transmission has been checked twice, and apparently is fine. No oil leaks etc. The van does have a 157k km, so, would expect something to go wrong. This is just frustrating. There does appear to be a slight hint of gas smell when the heater is on? Thank you

If a car goes in 6.8 seconds how do you figure out the acceleration?

To calculate acceleration, you need to know the initial velocity of the car and its final velocity after 6.8 seconds. The acceleration can be found using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

What is wrong if your 1990 Dodge Caravan starts to stall and then stops after 5 minutes of running?

This is likely a problem with the fuel line or filter. You need to make sure the fuel line is clear and does not have any clogs. A change of the fuel filter may help. If you are not able to figure it out by normal maintenance, a mechanic should be consulted.


A car slows to a stop in 5 seconds if it was going 80 kilometers an hour what was its acceleration?

You can't figure "acceleration" from this information. Maybe you meant "Deceleration"? Ask again.


A spacecraft orbits an unknown planet at a distance of 5.2 X 107 m from its center the period of its orbit is 52 hrs?

The spacecraft's orbital speed can be calculated using the formula v = 2πr / T, where v is the orbital speed, r is the orbital radius, and T is the orbital period. Substituting the values, the spacecraft's orbital speed is approximately 490 m/s.
