A car racing in a 420m drag race starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 34.0m/s in the first 1.70s, and then continues at this speed to the finish line. How far does the car travel during the initial acceleration period and how much total time is required by the car to finish the race?
In 1977, Kitty O'Neil drove a hydrogen peroxide-powered rocket dragster for a record time interval (3.22 s) and final speed (663 km/h) on a 402-m-long Mojave Desert track. Determine her average acceleration during the race. Determine her acceleration while stopping (it took about 20 s to stop).
To stop the car, a car leaves a skid marks 200m long on the highway. Assuming a deceleration of 7.5m/s2, what must be the speed of the car before braking?
In problem 11, if the dragstrip is ¼ mile, or 402.3 meters long, at the acceleration of 25.2 m/s2, what is the time that the dragster records for his or her quarter mile run to two decimal places assuming uniform acceleration during the entire length of the track? What was the dragster’s final velocity in miles per hour (two decimal places) when it crossed the finish line and deployed its parachute?
From January 26, 1977, to September 18, 1983, George Meegan of Great Britain walked from Ushuaia, at the southern tip of South America, to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, covering 30 600 km. In meters per second, what was the magnitude of his average velocity during that time period?
