The mass of a sports car is 1000 kg. The shape of the car is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient is 0.260 and the frontal

area is 2.10 m2. Neglecting all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration of the car, if it has been traveling at 90 km/h and is now shifted into neutral and is allowed to coast. (Take the density of air to be 1.295 kg/m3.)

Answer:

The initial acceleration is 0,221 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Fcar = Fairfriction\\m*a = 0.5*A*c*density*v^2\\a = 0.5*A*c*density*v^2 / 1000 kg = 0.5*2.10m^2*0.260*1.295kg/m^3*(25 m/s)^2 / 1000 kg = 0,221 m/s^2

Answer:

-0.221m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car=m=1000 kg

Drag coefficient,C_d=0.260

Frontal area,A=2.1 m^2

Speed, v=90 km/h=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25 m/s

1km/h=\frac{5}{18} m/s

Density of air,\rho=1.295 kg/m^3

We know that

Drag force,f_d=-\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 AC_d

a=\frac{f_d}{m}

Using the formula

a=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\times (1.295)\times (25)^2\times 2.1\times 0.26}{1000}=-0.221m/s^2

If you had an unlimited amount of mass to hang, what would be the range of possible accelerations for the system?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The entire cart/hanging mass system follows the same law, ΣF = ma. This means that plotting force vs. acceleration yields a linear relationship (of the form y = mx).
