The acceleration and the final velocity of the car if it has a constant acceleration.
Answer to Problem 71A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A dragster completed a
Formula used:
Final velocity with constant acceleration can be obtained by:
Where,
The distance traveled by an object with a constant acceleration can be obtained by:
Here, d represents displacement, v represents velocity, t represents time and a is the acceleration.
Calculation:
Since the dragster starts from the rest, hence its initial velocity will be 0, that is
Now, using the above-mentioned formula for the distance covered, the acceleration of the motion will be:
Then, the final velocity of the car will be:
Conclusion:
Thus, the acceleration and the final velocity of the car will be
