Multiple-Concept Example 9 reviews the concepts that are important in this problem. A drag racer, starting from rest, speeds up

for 391 m with an acceleration of +18.9 m/s2. A parachute then opens, slowing the car down with an acceleration of -9.92 m/s2. How fast is the racer moving 332 m after the parachute opens?​

Answer:

V = 90.51 m/s

Explanation:

From the given information:

Initial speed (u) = 0

Distance (S) = 391 m

Acceleration (a) = 18.9 m/s²

Using the relation for the equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

v² - 0² = 2as

v² = 2as

v = \sqrt{2as}

v = \sqrt{2*18.9*391}

v = 121.57 m/s

After the parachute opens:

The initial velocity = 121.57 m/ss

Distance S' = 332 m

Acceleration = -9.92 m/s²

How fast is the racer can be determined by using the relation:

V=  \sqrt{v^2 + 2aS'}

V = \sqrt{121.57^2+ 2 (-9.92)(332)}

V = 90.51 m/s

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
Serga [27]
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up.  It also doesn't mean
slowing down.  Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun

If i hold a glass full of air upside down, and i take it to the bottom of the swimming pool without tipping it, the density (thi
s2008m [1.1K]
The answer to fill in the blank in the question above is "greater than" based on the physic of the air density. The density of air is affected by the temperature and the pressure based on the ideal gas law. A high pressure will make the air becomes denser and the bottom of swimming pool has a higher pressure than the surface<span>.</span>

Which of the following are evidence for the big bang theory
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Big Bang theory has occurred because about two thousand million years ago, a star came close to the sun. The molten mass on it melted and formed a huge mountain. Due to the high pressure, the star repelled back and the mountain separated into pieces. These pieces started revolving aound the sun and are known as planets. The existence of these planets is known as big bang theory.

is it possible for an object moving around a circular path to have both centripetal and tangential acceleration?
dusya [7]

Answer:

A major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is their direction. Centripetal means “center seeking”. ... Tangential acceleration results from the change in magnitude of the tangential velocity of an object. An object can move in a circle and not have any tangential acceleration.
