A drag racer starts from rest and accelerates at 7.4 m/s2. How far will he travel in 2.0 seconds?

Physics

Leto [7]3 years ago
3 0

Using the kinematic equation below we can determine the distance traveled if t=2, a=7.4m/s^2.  First we must determine the final velocity:

v_{final}=v_{initial}+\frac{1}{2}at\\\\v_{final}=0+(7.4m/s^2)(2s)=34.8m/s

Now we will determine the distance traveled:

v_{final}^2=v_{initial}^2+2a \Delta x\\\\\Delta x = \frac{v_{final}^2}{2a} =\frac{(34.8)^2}{(2)(7.4)}=81.83 m

Therefore, the drag racer traveled 81.83 meters in 2 seconds.

Operators must slow to no wake speed when within what distance of a u.s. naval vessel?
Alex Ar [27]
Recreational boaters have a role in keeping the waterways safe and secure. Violators of the restrictions can expect a quick and severe response. The operator should not approach within yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any of united states naval vessel. If the vessel need to pass within 100 yards of a united states naval vessel for safe passage, must contact the united states naval vessel or the united states coast guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. In addition,

• The operator must perceive and avoid all security areas.

• Avoid commercial port operation areas particularly those that include military cruise line or petroleum amenities. 

• The operator must perceive and avoid other controlled areas near dams, power plants, etc. 

• The operator of the vessel must not discontinue or anchor underneath bridges or in the channel.

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
