The acceleration of the car is 0.8049.It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.
<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>
In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:
(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and
(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.
Calculations:
40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s
80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s
Time taken
v-u=at
22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t
t=13.802s

Answer:
v = 0.41 m/s
Explanation:
- In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
- At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
- So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:
- Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
- ⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf² (2)
- The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:
where k = force constant = 815 N/m
xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position
for the spring at equilibrium)
x₀ = initial displacement of the block = 0.03 m
- Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:
where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =
horizontal displacement.
- Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
- Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
- Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:
- Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:
