Probably to be more accurate. With hand-operated stop watches there is more room for (human) error.

It was once recorded that a Jaguar
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

71.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length of skid marks left by jaguar (s) = 290 m

Skidding Acceleration (a) = - 8.90m/s²

Final velocity of jaguar (v) = 0

Speed of Jaguar before it Began to skid =?

Hence, initial speed of jaguar could be obtained using the formula :

v² = u² + 2as

Where

v = final speed of jaguar ; u = initial speed of jaguar(before it Began to skid) ; a = acceleration of jaguar ; s = distance /length of skid marks left by jaguar

0² = u² + (2 × (-8.90) × 290)

0 = u² + (-5,162)

u² = 5162

Take the square root of both sides

u = √5162

u = 71.847 m/s

u = 71.85m/s

A dragster starts with zero velocity and completes a 404.5 m (0.2528 mile) run in 4.922 s. If the car had a constant acceleratio
KIM [24]

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

Why are strong forces able to hold atomic nuclei together?
Galina-37 [17]
The nucleons(protons and neutrons) are held together by means of this strong force. If this strong never existed, all the nucleus will blow themselves due to strong repulsive force between protons(neutron has no charge).
Thats it!
If I explain beyond, it will surely bounce off your head. Anyways, if you wanna know more bout it, ping me. (:
