A dragster accelerates to a speed of 11m/s over a distance of 398m . Determine the acceleration (assumed uniform) of the dragster |
Answer» Given :▪ Initial velocity = zero ▪ Final velocity = 11m/s ▪ Distance travelled = 398m To Find :▪ ACCELERATION of dragster. Concept :☞ In this question, Acceleration has said to be uniform throughout the motion, we can EASILY APPLY third equation of KINEMATICS to solve this question. ✴ Third equation of kinematics : ↗ v² - u² = 2as where, ▪ v denotes final velocity ▪ u denotes initial velocity ▪ a denotes acceleration ▪ s denotes distance Calculation :→ v² - u² = 2as → (11)² - (0)² = 2a(398) → 121 = 796a → a = 121/796 → a = 0.15m/s² |
