Answer:
8 minutes
Explanation:
Part of the question is missing. Complete question is:
<em>Simpson drives his car 144 km with an average velocity of 24 m/s toward the east. How much time would Simpson save by increasing his average velocity to 26m/s East?</em>
Solution:
First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for Simpson to complete the drive moving at the initial velocity, 24 m/s. We can use the formula:
where
is the displacement
is the velocity
Substituting,
While driving at 26 m/s, the time taken will be
So, Simpson will save 8 minutes.
Answer:
a)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
b)
a = 1.6 [m/s^2]
c)
xt = 2100 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. But first we must identify what kind of movement is being studied.
a)
When the car moves from rest to 40 [m/s] by 20 [s], it has a uniformly accelerated movement, in this way we can calculate the acceleration by means of the following equation:
where:
Vf = final velocity = 40 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 0 (starting from rest)
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 20 [s]
40 = 0 + (a*20)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
The distance can be calculates as follows:
where:
x1 = distance [m]
40^2 = 0 + (2*2*x1)
x1 = 400 [m]
Now the car maintains its speed of 40 [m/s] for 30 seconds, we must calculate the distance x2 by means of the following equation, it is important to emphasize that this movement is at a constant speed.
v = x2/t2
where:
x2 = distance [m]
t2 = 30 [s]
x2 = 40*30
x2 = 1200 [m]
b)
Immediately after a change of speed occurs, such that the previous final speed becomes the initial speed, the new Final speed corresponds to zero, since the car stops completely.
Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the car is stopping, i.e. slowing down.
0 = 40 - (a *25)
a = 40/25
a = 1.6 [m/s^2]
The distance can be calculates as follows:
0 = (40^2) - (2*1.6*x3)
x3 = 500 [m]
c)
Now we sum all the distances calculated:
xt = x1 + x2 + x3
xt = 400 + 1200 + 500
xt = 2100 [m]
