If forgotten the equations, but given acceleration and time from start, you can
easily get speed. With speed and time, you can get distance. That's how it gets
where the 1/4 is. It just stops the timer when it calculates you've gone 1/4
mile. 0-60 is the same way, using the accelerometer and timer, it stops the timer
when it calculates you're going 60. Horsepower is a relation of weight (given by
you) and acceleration.
