Question

what was the acceleration of the cart with Low fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with medium fan speed cm/s squared? what was the acceleration of the cart with high fan speed cm/s squared?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The attached figure shows data for the cart speed, distance and time.

For low fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 7.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{7.4}\\\\v=67.56\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{67.56}{7.4}\\\\a=9.12\ cm/s^2$

For medium fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 6.4 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{6.4}\\\\v=78.12\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{78.12}{6.4}\\\\a=12.2\ cm/s^2$

For high fan speed,

Distance, d = 500 cm

Time, t = 5.6 s

Average velocity,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500}{5.6}\\\\v=89.28\ cm/s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{89.28}{5.6}\\\\a=15.94\ cm/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Low fan speed: 18.0 cm/s2

Medium fan speed: 24.0 cm/s2

High fan speed: 32.0 cm/s2
