5.
A car starts from rest and accelerates
uniformly over a time of 5.59 seconds for a distance of 150.00 m. Determine the
acceleration of the car.
6.
Rocket-powered sleds are used to test
the human response to acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to
a speed of 360.00 m/s in 2.50 seconds, then what is the acceleration of the
rocket? What is the distance that the sled travels?
5. Using the kinematic equation, obtain:
where is the distance, is the time, and is the acceleration. Expressing , obtain:
6. By definition of acceleration:
where is the final speed, is the initial speed, and is the time. Thus, obtain:
The distance is determined with the same equation as in 5):
Answer. 5) 9.60m/s^2, 6) 144m/s^2 and 450m.
