Math is a little rusty.
Acceleration = 4.815 miles/sec
Distance = 1155.6 miles
How far off am I?

In the relationship between velocity and force when working with gears

There is no direct relationship between velocity and force. In a friction-free environment, no force is required to maintain velocity. Force is required to increase or decrease velocity (accelerate or decelerate), but as soon as the force is removed, velocity stabilizes at the new value.
When working with gears, force is multiplied according to the gear ratio of the gears (mechanical advantage). If you apply 100 lb-ft of force on the input gear of a gearset that has a 3.5 to 1 ratio, you will get 350 lb-ft of torque from the output gear (friction disregarded). This torque (force) is applied to overcome the inertia of whatever load you are applying the force to.
In practical terms, the torque of the engine, without being 'geared down', is inadequate to overcome the inertia of a vehicle (accelerate) quickly. So you start in a lower gear (higher ratio), and transition to higher gears (lower ratios) as vehicle velocity is attained. This is done manually or automatically. On most current vehicles, an overdrive gear (ratio less than 1 to 1) slows the engine speed even further for better fuel economy.
At a constant (cruising) velocity, you only need enough force from the engine to overcome wind resistance, tire resistance on the road, and the friction of all moving parts of the powertrain. So even at a high velocity (100 kph/60 mph), relatively little force is required.

The noise of the engine big, the engine compartment has vibration

Lift the vehicle engine, can see the bottom plate Kepeng traces. If the roadwith obstacles and forced through the bottom plate, the engine must beknocking. The bottom plate deformation and engine oil bottom shell distance, if the distance is too near, when accelerating oil bottom shell and bottom platecollision sends out noise and vibration. So, traffic must carefully observe the road, do not cause drag bottom phenomenon. remove thebottom plate, flat correction can be.Use obd2 for automotive diagnostics , you can improve vehicle safety performance and driving more safer.

Vibration when accelerating from stop

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. When you are braking, you are changing the velocity of the vehicle you are in. That means that when you are braking you are actually accelerating.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to reset my service vehicle soon light

If you completed the repair the vehicle will reset on its own after several successful starts without that fault. the other methods are to get a scanner to rest it or disconnect the negative battery terminal for 60 seconds then reconnect it. Make sure you have written down the radio unlock code if you choose the battery method.

DEFINITE LURCH IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR,

This may apply. ...............................

Carry out the adaptation drive cycle road test:

Note: This process must be carried out in normal mode (not sports mode). On a flat road, the transmission fluid temperature must be above 60° C (140° f) and below 100° C (212° f) (vehicle at normal operating temperature will ensure that the transmission fluid temperature is above 60° C (140° f)).
9. Accelerate from rest with light throttle (do not exceed the upper rev limit in appendix 1). 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shifts must occur with engine speed between the following limits:.
Note: Do not move the accelerator pedal during shifts.

• 3.0L VIN ALL 1800 - 2000 rpm
• 4.2L N/A Prior VIN M96321 1450 - 1600 rpm
• 4.2L N/A From VIN M963221550 - 1700 rpm

10. Continue to accelerate gently to 50 mph (80 km/h) so that transmission shifts into 5th gear.
11. Go into overrun and let the transmission shift down into 4th gear without braking.
12. Brake gently to a standstill and hold footbrake on for at least 15 seconds.
13. This process should be carried out at least five times.

I have a 2001 nissan pathfinder 4w. The OBD system-readiness status: Says catalytic converters, NOT READY; oxygen sensors, NOT READY; evaporative system, NOT READY. So did not pass inspection, I was told...

You have to re-set the obd via using Nissan's approved drive-cycle which is;

1. Start the engine when the engine coolant

temperature gauge needle points to C. Allow

the engine to idle until the gauge needle

points between the C and H (normal operating

temperature).

2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88

km/h), then quickly release the accelerator

pedal completely and keep it released for at

least 6 seconds.

3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal for a

moment, then drive the vehicle at a speed

of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96 km/h) for at least

5 minutes.

4. Stop the vehicle.

5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55 km/h)

and maintain the speed for 20 seconds.

6. Repeat steps 4 through 5 at least 3 times.

7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88 km/h)

and maintain the speed for at least 3 minutes.

8. Stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.

9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one more

time.

If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat the

preceding step. Any safe driving mode is acceptable

between steps. Do not stop the engine

until step 7 is completed. If you cannot or

do not want to perform the driving pattern, a
NISSAN dealer can conduct it for you.
