If the car's speed were not reduced by any structural effects or by friction, how long would it take to complete the race? What is the speed of the car at the end of the race?
6. A rock is dropped from the top of a tall tower. Half a second lateranother rock, twice as massive as the first, is dropped. Ignoring airresistance,(A) the distance between the rocks increases while both are falling.(B) the acceleration is greater for the more massive rock.(C) they strike the ground more than half a second apart.(D) they strike the ground with the same kinetic energy.
A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches 90 mi/hr in a distance of 220 ft, at which time the clutch
is disengaged. The car then slows down to a velocity of 25 mi/hr in an additional distance of 420 ft with a deceleration which is
proportional to its velocity. Find the time t for the car to travel the 640 ft.
