Two drag cars race. They line up at the starting line at rest. The winning car accelerates at a constant rate a and reaches the

finish line with a final velocity v. The losing car accelerates at a constant rate a/4. How far had the losing car traveled, d, when the winning car crossed the finish line?

Answer:d=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Explanation:

Given

winning car accelerates with a and its final velocity is v

considering they both start from rest

time taken by winning car is

v=u+at

where u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

v=at

t=\frac{v}{a}

Now loosing car is accelerating with \frac{a}{4}

Distance traveled by loosing car in time t

s_1=ut+\frac{at^2}{2\cdot 4}

s_1=0+\frac{a}{8}\times (\frac{v}{a})^2

s_1=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Thus distance d traveled by loosing car is given by d=\frac{v^2}{8a}

Answer: 15.66 °

Explanation: In order to solve this proble we have to consirer the Loretz force for charge partcles moving inside a magnetic field. Thsi force is given by:

F=q v×B = qvB sin α where α is teh angle between the velocity and magnetic field vectors.

From this expression and using the given values we obtain the following:

F/(q*v*B) = sin α

3.8 * 10^-13/(1.6*10^-19*8.9*10^6* 0.96)= 0.27

then  α =15.66°
