Once a car is already moving what factors will affect its rate of acceleration? The question is related to a dragster so it is accelerating for the entire race.

im stuck now, as the horizontal is flat so it is at 0 degress, and i can't calculate the other side as i don't have the information to.

what do you mean by components? I am sorry I am new to physics

sorry if i have confused it, this is an assignment question which i got late as i missed a lesson the question says that the wheel is traveling at 45m/s at 35 deg. the fence is 25m away, how high does it have to be to prevent it hitting the crowd. then in brackets it just says take...

i was lead to believe it would travel in a straight line as its traveling at 45m/s and the fence is only 25m away

see that's where I am stuck i need to know how to calculate this: if i know the angle and the adjacent, 35 deg, 25m and i want to the height, opposite, 35 x 25 as in Tan x adj

see that doesn't make any sense to me!

a wheel becomes detached from a race car, the wheel is traveling at 45m/s at an angle of 35 deg. a fence is erected 25m from the track. ignoring air resistance how high should the fence be? gravity 9.8 ive tried drawing a diagram, with angle of 35 deg. i believe it is a trig question

Thankyou very much, I am sure i will return

so the equation should read: theta= tan^-1(900/(100x9.8))

a car of mass 1000kg moves round a banked track at a constant speed of 108km/h. the reaction of the wheels is at right angles to the track, the horizontal radius is 100m. calculate the angle of inclination of the track. Homework Equations tan(theta)= V^2/rg The Attempt at a...
