A dragster completed a 402.3-(0.2500-mi) run in 5.023s. If the car had a constant acceleration, what was its acceleration and final velocity?

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 80.092 m/s

a = 15.945 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The distance completed by the dragster, d = 402.3 m

The time taken by the dragster to complete that distance is, t = 5.023 s

The initial velocity of the dragster, u = 0

The final velocity of the dragster, v = ?

The acceleration of the dragster, a = ?

The velocity of the body is given by the formula

                                  v = d/t  m/s

Substituting the above values inn the equation

                                  v = 402.3 m / 5.023 s

                                     = 80.092 m/s

So, the velocity of the dragster is, v = 80.092 m/s

The acceleration of the body is given by the formula

                                   a = (v - u)/t  m/s²

Substituting the above values in the equation

                                      = (80.092 - 0) / 5.023

                                      = 15.945 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the dragster is, a = 15.945 m/s²

The dragster car which runs with the constant acceleration, has  acceleration 15.954 m/s² and has final velocity 80.092 m/s.

What is velocity of a object?

Velocity of a object is the ratio of distance traveled by the object with the time taken.

[tex]v=\dfrac{s}{t}[/tex]

Here, (s) is the displacement of the body and (t) is the time taken by it.

The dragster completed a 402.3 run in 5.023s. Thus, the total distance covered by the dragster is 402.3 m and the total time taken by it to cover this distance is 5.023 seconds.

Use the above formula to find the velocity as,

[tex]v=\dfrac{402.3}{5.023}\\v=80.092\rm\;m/s[/tex]

Acceleration of a body is the change in velocity of the body with respect to the time. As the initial velocity of the car is zero. Thus,

[tex]a=\dfrac{80.092-0}{5.023}\\a=15.954\rm \;m/s^2[/tex]

Hence, the dragster car which runs with the constant acceleration, has  acceleration 15.954 m/s² and has final velocity 80.092 m/s.
