Question: An automobile driver increases the speed at a constant rate from 25 km.hrto 55 km/hrin 0.50 min. A bicycle rider speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 30 km/hr in 0.50 min. What are the magnitudes of (a) the driver鈥檚 acceleration and (b) the rider鈥檚 acceleration?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The driver鈥檚 acceleration is0.28m/s2 .

(b) The rider鈥檚 acceleration is 0.28m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Initial speed of driver, v0=25km/h

Final speed of driver, v=55km/h

Initial speed of rider, v01=0km/h

Final speed of rider, v1=30km/h

Time interval, t=0.50min

02

Understanding the kinematic equations Kinematic equations describe the motion of an object with constant acceleration. These equations can be used to determine the acceleration. 

The expression for the kinematic equations of motion are given as follows:

v=v0+at 鈥 (i)

Here, v0is the initial velocity, vis the final velocity, ais the acceleration andtis the time.

03

: (a) Determination of the acceleration of the driver 

Convert the velocity from km/h to m/s as:

v0=25kmh1000m1km1h3600s=6.94m/sv=55kmh1000m1km1h3600s=15.28m/s

Using equation (i), the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

a=v-v0t=15.28m/s-6.94m/s0.560s=0.28m/s2

Thus, the acceleration of the driver is0.28m/s2 .

04

(b) Determination of the acceleration of the rider

Convert the velocity from km/h to m/s as:

v1=30kmh1000m1km1h3600s=8.33m/s

Using equation (i), the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

a1=v1-v01t=8.33m/s-0m/s0.560s=0.28m/s2

Thus, the acceleration of the rider is0.28m/s2 .
