The highest speed attained by a cyclist on level ground is 105 km/h. To attain this speed, the cyclist used a streamlined recumb

ent bike. Starting from rest, he gradually built up his speed by pedaling furiously over a distance of 3.2 km. If his acceleration was uniform over this distance, what was the acceleration and how long did the cyclist take to build up his final speed

Answer:

The acceleration is 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build the final speed is 219.32 s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the cyclist, v = 105 km/h = 29.17 m/s²

distance traveled by the cyclist, d = 3.2 km = 3,200 m

initial speed, u = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the acceleration of the cyclist;

v² = u² + 2as

(29.17 )² = 0 + (2 x 3200)a

850.89 = 6400a

a = (850.89 ) / (6400)

a = 0.133 m/s²

The time taken to build up the final speed is given by;

v = u + at

29.17 = 0 + (0.133)t

t = 29.17 / 0.133

t = 219.32 s

A jet aircraft is traveling at 262 m/s in hor-
NeTakaya

Solution :

Speed of the air craft, $S_a$ = 262 m/s

Fuel burns at the rate of, $S_b$ = 3.92 kg/s

Rate at which the engine takes in air, $S_{air}$ = 85.9 kg/s

Speed of the exhaust gas that are ejected relative to the aircraft, $S_{exh}$ =921 m/s

Therefore, the upward thrust of the jet engine is given by

$F=S_{air}(S_{exh}-S_a)+(S_b \times S_{exh})$

F = 85.9(921 - 262) + (3.92 x 921)

   = 4862635.79 + 3610.32

   = $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$

Therefore thrust of the jet engine is $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$.

Ms. Garcia’s car can go from rest to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. The car’s velocity changes at a uniform rate. How far does the car tr
vampirchik [111]

We will use this equation:

s = 1/2*a*t^2 + v0*t + s0

where:

s = space traveled

a = acceleration

t = time

v0 = initial speed

s0 = initial space

In this case::

v0 = 0

s0 = 0

So our equation will look like that now:

s = 1/2 * a * t^2

let's calculate the acceleration first of all:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where vf is the final speed and vi is the initial speed. t is the time.

a = (25m/s) / 10s = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can calculate the space:

s = 1/2 * (2.5 m/s^2) * (10s)^2 = 125m

Hope it was helpful! Have a great day.
