0 | 0 |
1 | 4 |
2 | 16 |
3 | 36 |
4 | 64 |
5 | 100 |

- As a technical engineer in the army, you are part of a team in charge of testing and commissioning a new tank recently purchased by the artillery. Field testing has revealed the following information: 1) The tank moves from rest to a speed of 70 km/hr in 10 seconds. 2) Using the breaking system, the tank is brought to a complete stop from a speed of 70 km/hr in 5 seconds. You are required to address all the questions below providing all calculations, graphs, and explanations as appropriate to back your answers. First: Motion of the tank: a) Find the average driving acceleration of the tank. b) Calculate the average breaking acceleration of the tank. c) For parts (a) and b above parts report your answers in US Customary Units (mile/hr) so that the information could be shared with experts from the US.arrow_forwardPhysics questionarrow_forwardMrs. posota drives 55 miles to work. it takes her 1.05 hour to get to work. what is Mrs.posota average speed? round to the nearest decimal place.
