A more realistic car would cause the wheels to spin in a manner that would result in the ground pushing it forward with a constant force (in contrast to the constant power in Part A). If such a sports car went from zero to 29.0 mph in time 1.50 s , how long would it take to go from zero to 58.0 mph

Respuesta :

Answer:

It would take 3.00 s

Step-by-step explanation:

For a constant force system, the acceleration (a) of the system is constant.

In the first instance,

Initial velocity  = 0 mph

final velocity = 29.0 mph

time taken = 1.50 s

[tex]acceleration = \frac{final velociity(v) - initial velocity (u)}{time taken}[/tex]

[tex]acceleration = \frac{29.0 - 0}{1.50}[/tex]

[tex]acceleration = 19.33 mph^{2}[/tex]

Since the system is a constant force system,

Initial velocity  = 0 mph

final velocity = 58.0 mph

time taken = ?

[tex]acceleration = \frac{final velociity(v) - initial velocity (u)}{time taken}[/tex]

[tex]19.33 = \frac{58.0 - 0}{t}[/tex]

t = \frac{58.0}{19.33} = 3.00 s
