Describe a situation when you might travel a high velocity but with low acceleration

1 answer:

Answer:
One situation could be when someone is sitting in a car that is travelling at a constant speed of 150mph

Explanation:
Let’s review the terms:
Velocity: the speed of something in a given direction
Acceleration: increase in the rate or speed of something

The car is travelling at a high speed but the speed is constant, so it isn’t increasing. In other words, the car the person is sitting in is travelling in in a high velocity but with no/low acceleration.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N$

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase
