What is the final speed?
I don’t understand a problem from my science homework. Please help explain how to get the final speed.
For each problem, identify your givens and unknown. Write the formula, plug in the numbers (including your units!) and solve,
1. In 1970, Don “big Daddy” Garlits set what was then the world record for drag racing. He started at rest and accelerated at 16.5m/s2 (squared) for 6.5s. What was Garlit’s final speed?
A=
Vf=
Vi=
T=
In this problem, speed is the velocity.
Vf = Vi + A * T
Final Velocity = initial velocity + acceleration times time
Vf = 0 + (16.5m/s^2) * (6.5s)
Vf = 107.25m/s
He started at a standstill, accelerated at a constant rate. After one second he was going 16.5m/second (about 37 miles per hour). After two seconds, he was going 33m/second, after three, 49.5m/sec, after 4, 66m/sec, after 5, 82.5m/sec, after 6, 99m/sec, and after another half second (6.5 seconds) he was going 107.25m/second or about 240 miles per hour (386 km/hr).
