What is the velocity of the car at the end of the period of 30 seconds acceleration?arrow_forward1. Consider a car that initially travels in the positive direction at a speed of 30 m/s. The car uniformly speeds up to 40 m/s in a time of 5 s. Find the following: a. The acceleration of the car. b. The distance traveled over the entire 5.0 seconds. C. The distance traveled during the 2 s interval where the clock goes from t = 2 s, to t= 4 s. (Assume the 5 s time interval begins with the time = 0s.)arrow_forward
- a) A car starts from rest, speeds up with constant acceleration, and travels 720 meters in 9 seconds. What was the average velocity of the car in m/s? b) What was the final velocity of the car (in m/s)? c) Consider that the car started at rest. What was the change in velocity of the car (in m/s)? d) What was the acceleration of the car (in m/s2)?arrow_forwardYou can just answer in a few sentences.arrow_forwardIn class, we used a numerical method to determine the velocity of an object at 0s and = t = 2.00 s given that the object had started from rest at t accelerated at a rate given by a(t) = (8.00 m/s^)t². Here's what we did: 1. Divided t into four intervals of 0.5 s each. 2. For each interval, calculated the average a. These were the numerical values we obtained for each time interval: 1 0.25 0.50 i t (s) a; (m/s²) After summing the values according to: 2 0.75 4.50 3 1.25 12.50 lim ã‚At, 2 V₂v₁ = limast. t₁ At→0 we arrived at the approximate value v = 21.0 m/s. 4 1.75 24.50 a (m/s²) 32.00+ 24.00 16.00 8.00 0 ā₁ 0 ā2 az as 0.50 1.00 1.50 2.00 t (s) 21.33 m/s. We then proceeded to integrate to obtain the analytical solution, which was v = Using the same numerical method, divide t into eight and then sixteen intervals to calculate the approximate value for v at t = 2.00 s. This should demonstrate that with more sampling, the AUC (area under the curve) value converges toward the analytical…arrow_forward

- In order to pass a physical education class at a university, a student must run 1.0 mi in 11.5 min. After running for 10.0 min (assume constant speed), she still has 660 yd to go. What constant acceleration does she need over the final 660 yd in order to make it?
