a dragster in a race accelerated from rest to 60 m/s by the time it reached the finish line. the dragster moved the distance from start to finish in 8.3 seconds. what is the dragsters acceleration?

i’ll mark brainliest!!


Sagot :

Answer:

7.23m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 60m/s

Time taken  = 8.3s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the dragsters = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time taken.

So;

    Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}[/tex]  

Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{60 - 0}{8.3 }[/tex]    = 7.23m/s²
