Answer:
a) 32.58 m/s²
b) 161.84 m/s
Explanation:
Initial velocity = u = 0
Final velocity = v = 145 m/s
Time taken = t = 4.45 s
s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m
a = Acceleration
The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.
