Chapter 2, Problem 2.13E
The Fastest (and Most Expensive) Car! The table shows test data for the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, the fastest street car made. The car is moving in a straight line (the x-axis).
(a) Sketch a υx−t graph of this car’s velocity (in mi/h) as a function of time. Is its acceleration constant? (b) Calculate the car’s average acceleration (in m/s2) between (i) 0 and 2.1 s: (ii) 2.1 s and 20.0 s; (iii) 20.0 s and 53 s. Are these results consistent with your graph in part (a)? (Before you decide to buy this car, it might be helpful to know that only 300 will be built, it runs out of gas in 12 minutes at top speed, and it costs more than $1.5 million!)

"A jet plane is cruising at 320 m/sm/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.8 km , the jet is moving with a speed of 400 m/sm/s.
What is the jet's acceleration, assuming it to be a constant acceleration?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units."
I am having issues setting up word problems to begin solving. Need an easier method or technique to help deciper these.
A special racing car starts from rest and accelerates in a straight line with a constant
acceleration of 5.8 m/s². After 376 metres, it deploys a parachute which results in a
deceleration of kv? where v is the speed of the car in m/s and k is a constant (has a unit
of 1/m). If the car's speed slowed down to 37 km/hr 7.5 seconds after the parachute
was deployed, determine the constant k and then give your answer to Z = 1000*|k|
rounded to two decimal places. Note that |k| means the absolute value of k.

- In 1967, New Zealander Burt Munro set the world record for an Indian motorcycle, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, with a maximum speed of 183.58 mi/h. The one‐way course was 5.00 mi long. Acceleration rates are often described by the time it takes to reach 60.0 mi/h from rest. If this time was 4.00 s, and Burt accelerated at this rate until he reached his maximum speed, a. how long did it take Burt to complete the course? b.

(Enter a number.) m (b) How long (in s) would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed? (Enter a number.) s †arrow_forwardMy question isn't how to solve the problem exactly. In fact, it's already been solved on this website. My question is about the acceleration. When I solve this problem myself, first I calculate the velocity by dividing 100m by 53s. I get 1.89m/s. Then I use that to find the acceleration using the equation vf = vi + at. That's 1.89/53 = 0.036m/s^2. That's not correct. The correct way to find the acceleration is to us the equation d = 1/2 at^2 and solve that way without taking the intermediate step of finding the velocity. Doing it that way, the acceleration is 0.0712m/s^2. My question is why you get a different result doing it the first way than you get doing it the second way.arrow_forward
