until it finally takes off. Find the distance traveled before takeoff. Use GRFS to solve.
Given Data:
a (acceleration) = 3.22m/s²
t (time) = 32.0 seconds
Vi (initial velocity) = 0 m/s (from rest)
d (distance) = unknown ?
Solution:
We can use the formula d = Vit + 1/2at²
Since Vi = 0 m/s, we will just used d = 1/2at²
d = 1/2at²
= 1/2 × 3.22m/s² × (32.0 s)²
= 1.61 m/s² × 1024 s² (cancel the unit s²)
= 1648.64 m
Answer:
the distance traveled before takeoff is 1648.64 m
2. Michael Schumacher, a German racing driver, accelerates his race car uniformly from 18.2 m/s
to 48.2 m/s in 2.45 s. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of his car and the distance
traveled.
Answer:
GIVEN:Vi=18.2m/s ;Vf=48.2m/s ;T=2.45s
FIND: a.acceleration of his car
b.distance it had travelled
SOLUTION:
A: a= Vf—Vi
T
48.2-18.2
2.45
= 30
2.45
=4.99 Acceleration of his car
B: a= (Vf)(T)
= 48.2* 2.45= 118.09 Distance it had travelled
3. find the magnitude of the accelerationof a jeepney that is initially moving at 18 m/s and comes
to a complete stop in 4.2
Given:
Asked:
acceleration = a = ?
Solution:
The magnitude of acceleration of the Jeep is about 4.3 m/s²
