Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
From fundamental equation of motion
where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of the body and s is the displacement.
Since the initial velocity is zero
Making acceleration, a the subject of the formula then
Substituting 5 m/s for v and 2.5 m for s then
Answer:
29.75 revolutions
Explanation:
The kinematic formula for distance, given a uniform acceleration a and an initial velocity v₀, is
This car is starting from rest, so v₀ = 0 m/s. Additionally, we have a = 9.2/9.7 m/s² and t = 9.7 s. Plugging these values into our equation:
So, the car has travelled 44.62 m in 9.7 seconds - we want to know how many of the tire's <em>circumferences</em> fit into that distance, so we'll first have to calculate that circumference. The formula for the circumference of a circle given its diameter is , which in this case is 47.8π cm, or, using π ≈ 3.14, 47.8(3.14) = 150.092 cm.
Before we divide the distance travelled by the circumference, we need to make sure we're using the same units. 1 m = 100 cm, so 105.092 cm ≈ 1.5 m. Dividing 44.62 m by this value, we find the number of revs is
