A873-kg (1930-lb) dragster, starting from rest completes a 401.4-m (0.2509-mile) run in 4.945 s. if the car had a constant acceleration, what would be its acceleration and final velocity

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion.

By definition we know that the position of a body is given by

Where

Initial position

Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t= time

And the velocity can be expressed as,

Where,

For our case we have that there is neither initial position nor initial velocity, then

With our values we have , rearranging to find a,

Therefore the final velocity would be

Therefore the final velocity is 81.14m/s

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
