Homework Statement
A 873kg dragster, starting from rest, attains a speed of 26.3 m/s in .59s.
a. Find the average acceleration of the dragster during this time interval.
b. What is the magnitude of the average net force on the dragster during this time?
c. Assume that the driver has a mass of 68kg. What horizontal force does the seat exert on the driver?
Mass = 873kg
Final velocity = 26.3 m/s
Final time = .59 seconds
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Initial time = 0 s
Homework Equations
average velocity = (Vf-Vi)/(Tf-Ti)
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
a. 26.3/.59= 44.6 m/s²
b. 873*44.6= 3.9*10^4 N
c. I'm not sure...
