Answer:
the acceleration [tex]a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that:
the initial speed v₁ = 0 m/s i.e starting from rest ; since the car accelerates at a distance Δx = 6 miles in order to teach that final speed v₂ of 63.15 km/h.
So; the acceleration for the first 6 miles can be calculated by using the formula:
v₂² = v₁² + 2a (Δx)
Making acceleration a the subject of the formula in the above expression ; we have:
v₂² - v₁² = 2a (Δx)
[tex]a = \dfrac{v_2^2 - v_1^2 }{2 \Delta x}[/tex]
[tex]a = \dfrac{(63.15 \ km/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (6 \ miles)}[/tex]
[tex]a = \dfrac{(17.54 \ m/s)^2 - (0 \ m/s)^2 }{2 (9.65*10^3 \ m)}[/tex]
[tex]a =0.0159 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Thus;
Assume the car moves in the +x direction;
the acceleration [tex]a^{\to} = (0.0159 \ \ m/s^2 )i[/tex]
