Iam stuck in austin with a flat tire, and i need to get to my class in houston within 2 hours. the drive is 180 miles long, but i want to be careful of the austin cops. i do not usually get caught speeding unless i am seen accelerating too fast, so i do not want to accelerate at a rate of more than 120 mi / h2. just to be careful, i′m going to take exactly 2 hours to make the trip. assuming i accelerate at 120 mi / h2 for a while, and travel at a constant speed afterwards, what’s the fastest speed i′ll be going during my trip?

120 mi/h

Explanation:

Given:

= initial speed from where you start = 0 mi/h

= acceleration for your drive = $120\ mi/h^2$

= total distance between Austin and Houston = 180 mi

= total time remaining for the journey = 2 h

Assume:

= time for which you drive with constant acceleration

= the remaining time for which you drive for the rest distance = T-t = 2-t

= maximum speed reached by you in the entire journey

When you start from rest and accelerate with constant acceleration for time t, you reaches your maximum speed at the last instant time of this interval. Let us first find out this speed.

$v = u+at\\\Rightarrow v = 0+at\\\Rightarrow v = at.........(1)\\$

After you reach your maximum speed, you travel for the rest of the journey with this much speed. This means the sum of distances traveled during the constant acceleration and the constant speed is equal to the total distance between Austin and Houston.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled during constant acceleration}+\textrm{Distance during constant speed}= \textrm{Distnace between Austin and Houston}\\$

$\Rightarrow (ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2)+(vr)=s\\\Rightarrow (0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2)+(at)(2-t)=180\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}at^2+2at-at^2=180\\\Rightarrow 2at-\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=180\\\Rightarrow 2\times 120\times t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 120\times t^2=180\\\Rightarrow 240t-60t^2=180\\\Rightarrow 4t-t^2=3\\\Rightarrow t^2-4t+3\\\Rightarrow (t-1)(t-3)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 1\,\,\, or\,\,\, t = 3\\$

But t = 3 h is greater than the maximum allowed time.

So, t = 1 h is correct.

This means the drive must have a constant acceleration of $120\ mi/h^2$ for 1 h.

Now, on putting the value of time in equation (1), we have

$v=120\times 1\\\Rightarrow v = 120\ mi/h$

Hence, the speed you will be going during the trip is 120 mi/h.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
