Question
Multiple-Concept Example 9 reviews the concepts that are important in this problem. A drag racer, starting from rest, speeds up for 391 m with an acceleration of +18.9 m/s2. A parachute then opens, slowing the car down with an acceleration of -9.92 m/s2. How fast is the racer moving 332 m after the parachute opens?

Answer:
V = 90.51 m/s
Explanation:
From the given information:
Initial speed (u) = 0
Distance (S) = 391 m
Acceleration (a) = 18.9 m/s²
Using the relation for the equation of motion:
v² – u² = 2as
v² – 0² = 2as
v² = 2as
v = 121.57 m/s
After the parachute opens:
The initial velocity = 121.57 m/ss
Distance S’ = 332 m
Acceleration = -9.92 m/s²
How fast is the racer can be determined by using the relation:
V = 90.51 m/s
