The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh

Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

$v^2=v^2_o-2ax$

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

$F=ma$

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

$F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N$

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

Need help finding the average speed.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

To find the average of these numbers, we just have to add the three numbers together and divide by 3.

2.07 + 0. 74 + 1.33 = 4.14. 4.14 / 3 = 1.38
1.09 + 1.40 + 0.31 = 2.8. 2.8 / 3 ≈ 9.3333333/ 9 1/3
0.95 + 1.61 + 0.56 = 3.12 / 3 = 1.04
0.81 + 1.89 + 1.08 = 3.78 / 3 = 1.26

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.

The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!

it's a shortcut.

Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:

Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m

Total distance = 40 m!
