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 31.0 in time 1.40 , how long would it take to go from zero to 62.0 ?

acceleration = 22.14 m/s²

time = 2.80 s

Explanation:

given data

initial velocity = 31.0

final velocity =

time = 1.40

solution

we get here acceleration that is

acceleration =   ...............1

acceleration =  

acceleration = 22.14 m/s²

and

by kinematic equation of motion

v = u +at .........2

t =  

time = 2.80 s

chemical energy --> gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy --> elastic potential energy --> gravitational potential energy

explanation:

when emma starts the hike, the chemical energy stored in her body is used to climb up the mountain, and so she gains gravitational potential energy (because at the end, she will be at a higher height h above the ground). then she goes bungee jumping: as she falls, this gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (because her speed increases as she falls down), until the point when the rope stretches, and she stops moving. at that moment, all the kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy due to the stretching of the rope. then, this energy is released because the rope returns to its natural length, and emma gains a small increase in altitude , so she gains some gravitational potential energy.
