Answer: The speed of top fuel dragster is 200 miles/hr

Explanation:

We are given:

Speed of top fuel dragster = quarter mile in 4.5 seconds = 0.25 mil/4.5 sec

To calculate the speed of top fuel dragster in miles per hour, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

Converting the speed in miles per hour, we get:

$\Rightarrow (\frac{0.25mil}{4.5s}\times (\frac{3600s}{1hr})\\\\\Rightarrow 200mil/hr$

Hence, the speed of top fuel dragster is 200 miles/hr

Distance in Miles (.25) x 3600 (seconds in an hour) / time in seconds = 200 MPH. Drag racing calculates the top speed via a speed trap starting 66 feet from the finish line.

A stone was projected at an angle of 40o and initial velocity of 20m/s. (a.)Determine the time of flight (b)Maximum height.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

A.) 1.3 seconds

B.) 0.42 m

Explanation:

A.) You are given the angle of projection to be 40 degrees and initial velocity of 20m/s.

At vertical component

U = Usin 40 that is,

U = 20sin40

Using the first equation of motion under gravity

V = U - gt

Let V = 0

0 = UsinØ - gt

gt = UsinØ

t = UsinØ/g

Where U = 20 m/s

Ø = 40 degree

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

t = 20sin40/9.8

t = 1.3 seconds

Total time of flight T = 2t

T = 2 × 1.3 = 2.6 s

B.) To calculate the maximum height,

You will use the formula

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

At maximum height, V = 0

2gH = Usin^2Ø

H = Usin^2Ø/ 2g

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

H = 20 sin^2(40) ÷ 2(9.8)

H = 8.2635/19.6

H = 0.42 m

A 3.53-g sample of aluminum completely reacts with oxygen to form 6.67 g of aluminum oxide. find percent composition

katrin2010 [14]

The mass percent composition of aluminum is 52.9% in aluminum oxide.

Mass of the aluminum = 3.53 g

Mass of the aluminum oxide = 6.67 g.

The mass percent of a substance is the mass of the substance divided by the mass of the compound into 100.

Aluminum reacts with oxygen to form aluminum oxide.

The overall balanced equation for the reaction is,

$Aluminum + Oxygen→Aluminum \: oxygen$

$4Al +3O _{2}→2Al _{2}O _{3}$

The mass percent composition of aluminum in the aluminum oxide is,

$Mass \: percent = \frac{ Mass \: of \: the \: substance}{ Mass \: of \: the \: compound} \times 100$

$Mass \: percent = \frac{Mass \: of \: the \: aluminum}{ Mass \: of \: the \: aluminum \: oxide } \times 100$

$Mass \: percent = \frac{3.53}{6.67 } \times 100$

= 52.9 %

Therefore, the mass percent composition of aluminum is 52.9% in aluminum oxide.
