- Consider a dragster that, when the light turns green, accelerates uniformly from rest and completes a 372 meter race in a time of 6.61 seconds. a) During this period, what is the dragster's acceleration expressed as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity, g? b) If the dragster could continue with this average acceleration, what would its speed be, in miles per hour, after it has traveled a total distance of 1.6km1.6km, which is approximately one mile?arrow_forwardA particle P projected from a point O on horizontal ground hits the ground after 2.4 seconds.The horizontal component of the initial velocity of P is 5/3 d ms-1The speed of P as it passes over the wall is 16ms-1(d) Find the value of d correct to 3 significant figures.May I have the answer for D please as the rules is only to do 3 of them so I asked separatelyarrow_forwardThe formula s(t)=-4.9t²+49t+15 gives the height in meters of an object after it is thrown vertically upward from a point 15 meters above the ground at a velocity of 49sec. How high above the ground will the object reach?arrow_forward
- At an airport, Anna is stationary, Bert is walking at a speed of 1.0 m/s, Carla is standing while Dodong is walking on a platform that moves with a speed of 2.0 m/s. Anna observes Bert, Carla, and Dodong moving away from her in the same direction. Anna observes Dodong moving away from her at a speed of 3.0 m/s. What is Anna’s velocity relative to the ground or earth?arrow_forwardAfter a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by:v = 1.2 i - 9.8t jwhere v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The ball’s displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by:Δ⃗r=∫00.380s⃗vdtTo perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem:∫[A+Bf(x)]dx=∫Adx+B∫f(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 sarrow_forwardA ball is thrown horizontally at speed v1 from a window which is H above level ground lands a time t1 after it was thrown. If the ball had been thrown horizontally at speed 3v1 from a the same window, how long would the ball have been in the air? (Assume neither ball interacts with anything between being thrown and landing on the ground.) Group of answer choices t1 3t1 sqrt(3t1) 3/2t1 9t1arrow_forward
- A motorboat is crossing a river that flows eastward at a speed of 5 kph. If the boat needs to maintain its northward course and a speed of 10kph relative to an observer standing on the river bank, what should be its velocity relative to the river?arrow_forwardA rocket ship has a position given by x=bt^2 meters. In order for it to reach a velocity of 3,000 m/s in 40,000 meters, what must be the value of b?arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle in reference frame A is (5.0î + 5.0ĵ) m/s. The velocity of reference frame A with respect to reference frame B is 6.0 m/s, and the velocity of reference frame B with respect to C is 4.0ĵ m/s.
