n problem. a sprinter accelerates from rest to 10.5 m/s in 1.35 sec. what is her acceleration . . . in m/s2 km/hr2 a certain drag racer can accelerate from 0 to 60.0 km/hr in 5.4 sec. what is its acceleration in m/s2? how far, in meters, will it travel during this acceleration? how much time would it take to go 0.25 km if it could accelerate at this rate the entire time? an automobile can increase its speed uniformly from 25.0 to 55.0 km/h in 30.0 seconds. a bicycle rider uniformly speeds up to 30.0 km/h from rest in 0.5 min. calculate their accelerations. a rocket rises from rest with constant acceleration to an altitude of 85.0 km, at this point it has a speed of 2.8 km/s what is the acceleration of the rocket? how long does the ascent take?

The useful equations here are derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
x = v₀t + 0.5at²

1.  Since it starts from rest, v₀ = 0. Then, v = <span>10.5 m/s and t=1.35 s
     a = (10.5 - 0)/1.35 = 7.78 m/s</span>²
     a = 7.78 m/s²*(1 km/1000 m)*(3,600 s/ 1 h)² = 100,828.8 km/h²

2. v₀ = 0; v = 60 km/h; t=5.4 s 
    a = [60 km/h*(1000 m/1km)*(1 h/3600 s) - 0]/5.4 s = 3.09 m/s²

3. Using the acceleration and velocities in #2, we can determine the distance     by the formula: 2ax = v² - v₀²
    2(3.09 m/s²)x = [60 km/h*(1000 m/1km)*(1 h/3600 s)]² - (0 m/s)²
    Solving for x,
    x = 44.95 m

4. Using acceleration in #2 and v₀ = 0, the time would be
    x = v₀t + 0.5at²
    0.25 km * 1,000 m/1 km = (0)(t) + (0.5)(3.09 m/s²)(t²)
    Solving for t,
    t = 12.72 seconds

5. Acceleration of automobile:
   a = [(55 km/h - 25 km/h)*(1,000 m/1 km)*(1 h/3,600 s)]/30 s
   a = 0.278 m/s²
<span>
   </span>Acceleration of bicycle:
   a = [(30 km/h - 0 km/h)*(1,000 m/1 km)*(1 h/3,600 s)]/(0.5 min * 60 s/1 min)
   a = 0.278 m/s²
<span>
6. x = 85 km or 85,000 m; v</span>₀ = 0 m/s; v = 2,800 m/s
    2ax = v² - v₀²
    2a(85,000 m) = (2,800 m/s)² - 0²
    a = 46.12 m/s²

7. Using the data given and acceleration in #6,
   x = v₀t + 0.5at²
   85,000 m = 0*t + 0.5(46.12 m/s²)(t²)
   Solving for t,
   t = 60.71 seconds

Joan is setting up an experiment in the lab to observe newton's second law of motion. she has a model car that has a mass of 45
Radda [10]
The force of the car increases because it is proportional to the acceleration of the object (as stated in the second law). If the object accelerates then the force accelerates, if the acceleration decreases then the force decreases. Same for mass. The force of the car would have changed from 315 newtons of force to 1,260 newtons of force.

Contrast electron movement within conductors and insulators.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

● What makes conductors special is that they have some free electrons that can move.

● An insulator has no free electrons wich explains why current isn't transmitted through it.

Find the dimension of density​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Explanation:

The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. For example, the density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimetre, and Earth's density is 5.51 grams per cubic centimetre.
