a. 46 m/s east
The jet here is moving with a uniform accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find its velocity:
where
v is the velocity calculated at time t
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
The jet in the problem has, taking east as positive direction:
u = +16 m/s is the initial velocity
is the acceleration
Substituting t = 10 s, we find the final velocity of the jet:
And since the result is positive, the direction is east.
b. 310 m
The displacement of the jet can be found using another suvat equation
where
s is the displacement
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the jet in this problem,
u = +16 m/s is the initial velocity
is the acceleration
t = 10 s is the time
Substituting into the equation,
Complete Question
Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?
Answer:
Go-cart A is faster
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the track is
The speed of A is
The uniform acceleration of B is
Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as
given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s
So
=>
=>
Comparing we see that
is smaller so go-cart A is faster
