Kangchenjunga (8,586 metres (28,169 ft)) was considered to be the highest mountain from 1838 until 1852. Mount Everest, 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). Established as highest in 1852 and officially confirmed in 1856.
Answer:
a. a=33.34ms⁻², V=164.4m/s
Explanation:
Since the dragster started with zero velocity, de determine the acceleration using of the equations of motion.
Below are the data given
Distance, s=404.5m,
time taken,t=4.922secs
Using the equation
S=ut+1/2at²
where u is the initial velocity and u=0
Making the acceleration the subject of the formula, we arrive at
a=2s/t²
a=(2*404.5)/4.922²
a=33.34ms⁻².
To determine the velocity, we use
V=u+at
V=0+33.34ms⁻² *4.922sec
V=164.4m/s
b) 4m/s/s
This is because you divide the speed you reach, by the time it takes to get to that speed:
12m/s ÷ 3s = 4m/s/s
The units come from what you divide, meters per second ÷ seconds this can be written as m/s/s or ms-²
