Ideally the resistance should be ZERO
False
Balanced forces mean that there is no net force acting on the object. therefore, the object will not accelerate.
Stop and look to see if anything is coming
The second runner must run 3.3m/s. If the leading runner is 1.5 seconds ahead and there are 30m left, the second runner would need to run slightly faster than the lead in order to finish at the same time. To calculate this I did 30/1.5 which gave me 0.05. I added this onto the speed of the lead runner to get 3.3m/s :)
E = hf
E : photon energy
h : Plank's constant 6.63×10^-34
f : frequency
Hope it helped!
