A camera is set up at the starting line of a drag race 60 ft

A camera is set up at the starting line of a drag race 60 ft from a dragster at the starting line (camera 1 in the figure). Two seconds after the start of the race, the dragster has traveled 180 ft and the camera is turning at 0.3 rad/s while filming the dragster. Answer parts a. and b. below. What is the speed of the dragster at this point? The speed of the dragster is 180 ft/s. (Type an integer or a decimal.) A second camera (camera 2 in the figure) filming the dragster is located on the starting line 110 ft away from the dragster at the start of the race. How fast is this camera turning 2 s after the start of the race? This camera is turning at a rate of rad/s. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Solution

Distance of camera 2 = (110²+180²) = 210.950231 m
Hence speed of camera 2 = 180*110/(210.950231)² ....... [180cos/210.950231]
= 0.444943821 rad/sec
