Dragsters can actually reach a top speed of 145.0 m/s in only 4.45 s. (a) calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster. (b) find the final velocity of this dragster starting from rest and accelerating at the rate found in (a) for 402.0 m (a quarter mile) without using any information on time. (c) why is the final velocity greater than that used to find the average acceleration?

a) 32.58 m/s²

b) 161.84 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 0

Final velocity = v = 145 m/s

Time taken = t = 4.45 s

s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m

a = Acceleration

The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
