a.
Average acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time taken
a= v-u/t
final velocity = 1 610 km/h , v = 1 610 km/h
initial velocity = 0 km/h , u = 0km/h
time taken = 55 seconds , t = 55 s
Average acceleration = v-u/t
v-u = 1 610 km/h
t = 55 s
a = 1 610/55
a = 29 km/h per second
b.
In m/s squared
29 km must be converted to meters
hours, must be converted to seconds
29 km = 29 000 m
1 hour = 3 600 s
29 000 m/3 600 s = 8 m/s per second, which equals to 8 m/s squared
c.
Average acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time taken
a= v-u/t
final velocity = 1 610 km/h , v = 1 610 km/h
initial velocity = 0 km/h , u = 0km/h
time taken = ?
Acceleration = 9.8 m/s -squared
9.8 m/s -squared = 1 610-0/t
9.8 m/s -squared = 1 610 km per hour/t
9.8 m/s -squared.t = 1 610 km per hour/t.t
9.8 m/s -squared.t = 1 610 km per hour
9.8 m/s -squared.t/9.8 meters per second -squared = 1 610 km per hour/9.8 meters
per seconds - squared
t = 1 610 km per hour/9.8 meters per second -squared
t =

d.
g = 9.8 m/s - squared
The Bloodhound's acceleration is 8 m/s squared
8 meters per second squared / 9.8 meters per second -squared = How many "g" is
the Bloodhound's average acceleration
= ...... is how many "g" is the Bloodhound's average acceleration.

a.
Acceleration that is uniform, is a constant acceleration.
Average acceleration = v-u/t
v-u = 1 610 km/h
t = 55 s
a = 1 610/55
a = 29 km/h per second
average acceleration is also going to be the speed in this case, because it's
uniform.

Lenght of track = 19 km
Current record = 1 228 km/h
New record = 1 690 km/h
a = 1 610/55
a= 29 km per hour/sec
s = d/t
1228/29 = time for taken to beat the record
t = 42 seconds
s = d/t
1 610 km/hour = d/ 42 s
1 610 000/3 600 = 447 m/s
447 m/s= d/42 s
d = st
d = 18 780 meters
d = 18,8 km
19-18,8 = 0.2 km.The car will have to brake and stop a bit earlier and be
more careful not to go out of track.
