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.

Explanation:
In this problem we have to draw a velocity-time graph for an object travelling initially at -3 m/s, then slowing down and turning around.
In the graph, we see that the initial velocity at time t = 0 is
and it is negative, so below the x-axis.
Later, the object slows down: this means that the magnitude of its velocity increases, therefore (since the velocity is negative) the curve must go upward, approaching and reaching the x-axis (which corresponds to zero velocity).
After that, the object's velocity keep increasing, but now it is positive: this means that the object is travelling in a direction opposite to the initial direction, so it has turned around.

Answer:
8.6 miles
Explanation:
We need to calculate the components of the total displacement along the east-west and north-south directions first.
In the first part, Erica moves 5.2 miles at 25∘ north of east. So the components of this displacement along the two directions are:
East: 
North: 
In the second part, Erica moves 5.0 miles north. So, the components of this displacement are:
East: 
North: 
So the components of the total displacement are
East: 
North: 
Therefore the magnitude of the displacement, which is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the end of the race, is
