Atop-fuel dragster starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 42.0 m/s2. what are (a) the final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s, (b) the final velocity of the dragster at the end of of twice this time, or 3.6 s, (c) the displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s, and (d) the displacement of the dragster at the end of twice this time, or 3.6 s

a)  Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v = u + at

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 1.8 s    

Substituting

  v = u + at

  v  = 0 + 42 x 1.8 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 3.6 s    

Substituting

  v = u + at

  v  = 0 + 42 x 3.6 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 1.8 s    

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 0 x 1.8 + 0.5 x 42 x 1.8²

    s = 68.04 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

  Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

 Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

 Time = 3.6 s    

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    s = 0 x 3.6 + 0.5 x 42 x 3.6²

    s = 272.16 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m
