Answer:
<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Physical Power </u>
It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is
Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F
The second Newton's law gives us the net force as
being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:
Solving for a
The distance traveled in the interval is given by
Since vo=0
The force is given by
We don't know the value of m, so the force is
Computing the work done by the sprinter
The power is finally computed
During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration
The distance is
The net force is
The work done by the sprinter is now computed as
At last, the output power is
By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s
<h2>Answer:53.63
</h2>
Explanation:
The equations of motion used in this question is
When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.
But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of .
In X-Direction,
Given that initial velocity==
Using ,
In Y-Direction,
Given that initial velocity==
Using ,
