If he were able to maintain this constant rate of acceleration, what would have been his speed as he finished the race?

Physics
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]2 years ago

a) 4.8 m/s² his average acceleration during the first 2.5 s

b) 15 m distance he cover during the first 2.5 seconds.

c) 31 m/s his speed as he finished the race.

<h3>(a) How to calculate the Average Acceleration ?</h3>

Average acceleration is calculated by using Newtons first law of motion

v = u + at

where

u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

a is constant acceleration

t is time

Given u = 0m/s , v = 12 m/s and t = 2.5 sec

Therefore average acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v}{t}

a=\frac{12}{2.5}

a = 4.8 m/sec²

b) Here we will use newtons second law of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

On substituting value we get

s = 15m

c) Here we will use newtons third law of motion

v² = u² + 2as

Here u = 0 , a = 4.8 m/s² and s = 100 m

Therefore

v² = 960

v = 31 m/s

Question: Usain Bolt's 100m sprint Runner set the world record for the100 meter sprint during the 2009World Championships in Berlin with a time of 9.58 s, reaching a top speed of 12 m/s in about 2.5 s.

a. What was his average acceleration during the first 2.5 s?

b. What distance did he cover during the first 2.5 seconds, assuming his acceleration was constant?

c. If he were able to maintain this constant rate of acceleration, what would have been his speed as he finished the race?

If the intensity of light that is incident on a piece of metal is increased, what else will be increased? Choose all that apply.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

When the intensity of light is increased on a piece of metal only the number of electron ejected will increase because all other things independent of intensity of light.

Light below certain frequency will not cause any electron emission no matter how intense.

The intensity produces more electron but does not change the maximum kinetic energy of electrons.

Work function is independent of the intensity of light, because it is an intrinsic property of a material.

The ice skaters partner liftes her up a distance of 1 m work done or not work done
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Work done.

Explanation:

The skater who lifts has to overcome the partner's weight. When lifted up by 1 meter, her potential energy increases by (mass)x(gravitational acceleration)x(1meter), which is the amount of work done.

(This all assumes lifting vertically and no other forces being part of the picture)
