In 1898, the world land speed record was set by Gaston Chasseloup-Laubat driving a car named Jeantaud. His speed was 39.24 mph (

63.15 km/h), much lower than the limit on our interstate highways today. Repeat the calculations of Example 2.7 (assume the car accelerates for 6 miles to get up to speed, is then timed for a one-mile distance, and accelerates for another 6 miles to come to a stop) for the Jeantaud car. (Assume the car moves in the +x direction.)
Find the acceleration for the first 6 miles.

Answer:

the acceleration a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial speed v₁ = 0 m/s i.e starting from rest ; since the car accelerates at a distance Δx = 6 miles in order to teach that final speed v₂ of 63.15 km/h.

So;  the acceleration for the first 6 miles can be calculated by using the formula:

v₂² = v₁² + 2a (Δx)

Making acceleration  a the subject of the formula in the above expression ; we have:

v₂² - v₁² = 2a (Δx)

a = \dfrac{v_2^2 - v_1^2 }{2 \Delta x}

a = \dfrac{(63.15 \ km/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (6 \ miles)}

a = \dfrac{(17.54 \ m/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (9.65*10^3 \ m)}

a =0.0159 \ m/s^2

Thus;

Assume the car moves in the +x direction;

the acceleration a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i

A blue line with 5 orange tick marks then one red tick mark then 4 orange tick marks. The number zero is above the red tick mark
Natali5045456 [20]

The total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.

The given parameters;

  • <em>First displacement of the car, = 5 cm left</em>
  • <em>Second displacement of the car, = 8 cm right</em>
  • <em>Third displacement of the car, = 3 cm to the left</em>

The total displacement of the car is calculated as follows;

  • <em>Let the </em><em>left </em><em>direction be "</em><em>negative </em><em>direction"</em>
  • <em>Let the </em><em>right </em><em>direction be "</em><em>positive </em><em>direction"</em>

\Delta x = - \ 5\ cm  \ + \ 8 \ cm \ - \ 3 \ cm \\\\\Delta x = 0

Thus, the total displacement of the toy car at the given positions is 0.
