A drag racer, starting from rest, speeds up for 402 m with an acceleration of +17.0 m/s2. A parachute then opens, slowing the ca

r down with an acceleration of –6.10 m/s2. How fast is the racer moving 3.50 × 102 m after the parachute opens?

The racer is running at a speed of approximately 96.943 meters per second at 350 meters after the parachute is opened.

According to this question, the drag race accelerates and later decelerates <em>uniformly</em> and we can determine the final speed of the vehicle by the following kinematic formula:

v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+2\cdot a\cdot s} (1)

Where:

  • v_{o} - Initial speed, in meters per second.
  • v - Final speed, in meters per second.
  • a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.
  • s - Traveled distance, in meters.

Acceleration phase

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = 17\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and s = 402\,m, then the final speed of the drag racer is:

v = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2} + 2\cdot \left(17\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (402\,m)}

v \approx 116.910\,\frac{m}{s}

Deceleration phase

If we know that v_{o} \approx 116.910\,\frac{m}{s}, a = -6.10\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and s = 350\,m, then the final speed of the drag racer is:

v = \sqrt{\left(116.910\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2} + 2\cdot \left(-6.10\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (350\,m)}

v \approx 96.943\,\frac{m}{s}

The racer is running at a speed of approximately 96.943 meters per second at 350 meters after the parachute is opened.

Answer:

a=20\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 40 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

We need to find the acceleration of the aircraft. We know that, acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{40-0}{2}\\\\=20\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the aircraft is 20\ m/s^2.

Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
lesantik [10]
It's called the "Wavelength". It corresponds to <span>the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave and could also be from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Hope this helps !

maria [59]

Answer:

995.12 N/C

Explanation:

R = 9 cm = 0.09 m

σ = 9 nC/m^2 = 9 x 10^-9 C/m^2

r = 9.1 cm = 0.091 m

q = σ x 4π R² = 9 x 10^-9 x 4 x 3.14 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 9.156 x 10^-10 C

E = kq / r^2

E = ( 9 x 10^9 x 9.156 x 10^-10) / (0.091 x 0.091)

E = 995.12 N/C
