The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s

Why does a solid keep its shape
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

A 81 kg block is released at a 3.8 m height. the track is frictionless. the block travels down the track, hits a massless spring
Alenkinab [10]
Since the track is friction less, block’s kinetic energy at the bottom of the track is equal to its potential energy at the top of the track. 
PE = 81 * 9.8 * 3.8 = 3016.44 J
 Work = 1/2 * 1888 * d^2  
PE = Kinetic energy at the base.
 1/2 * 1888 * d^2 = 3016.44
 d = 1.78 approx 1.8
 F = Ke = 1888 * 1.8 = 3398.4N
