umka21 [38]

Answer:

a) a = 1,865 m / s² and b) t = 8.1 s

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration, we can work the equation in scalar form because displacement and force have the same direction

F = m .a

a = F / m

a = 8.02 10² /4.3 10²

a = 1,865 m / s²

b) We use kinematic relationships in one dimension

vf = vo + at

vf = 0 + a t

t = vf / a

t = 15.1 / 1.865

t = 8.1 s

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 kmkm . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to t

elixir [45]

Answer:

(A) Distance will be equal to 1.75 km

(B) Displacement will be equal to 1.114 km

Explanation:

We have given circumference of the circular track = 3.5 km

Circumference is given by $2\pi r=3.5$

r = 0.557 km

(a) It is given that car travels from southernmost point to the northernmost point.

For this car have to travel the distance equal to semi perimeter of the circular track

So distance will be equal to $=\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75km$

(b) If car go along the diameter of the circular track then it will also go from southernmost point to the northernmost point. and it will be equal to diameter of the track

So displacement will be equal to d = 2×0.557 = 1.114 m
