The acceleration of the dragster is 8.89 m/s².
To find the acceleration, the given values are,
V₀ = 85 m/s
V = 45 m/s
What is acceleration?
- Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity with respect to time with respect to direction and speed.
- Acceleration formula can be written as,
[tex]\overline{a} = \frac{v - v_0}{t} = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}[/tex]`
a = acceleration
v = final velocity
v₀= starting velocity
t = time
- Acceleration is a vector quantity.
- The unit of acceleration is m/s².
Substituting the given values in the formula,
a = (V-Vo)/time
= (45-85m/s)/4.5 s.
a = 8.89m/s².
Thus, the acceleration a of the dragster is 8.89 m/s².
