On an amusement park ride passengers accelerate straight downward from rest to 22.9 m/s in 2.2 s.
What is the average acceleration of the passengers on this ride?

Respuesta :

Given,  

Initial Velocity (u) = 0 m/s  

Final Velocity (v) = 25.9 m/s  

Time (t) = 2.5 sec  

avg. acceleration = ?  

avg. acceleration = v-u/t  

avg = 25.9/2.5 = 10.36 m/s²  

avg = 10.36 m/s²

Answer:

Acceleration, [tex]a=10.4\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the ride, u = 0 (at rest)

Final speed of the ride, v = 22.9 m/s

Time taken, t = 2.2 s

Let a is the acceleration of the passengers on this ride. It can be calculated using the formula of the acceleration as :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{22.9-0}{2.2}[/tex]

[tex]a=10.4\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the time required to bring the car to a stop is [tex]10.4\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
