Usain Bolt's world-record 100 m sprint on August 16, 2009, has been analyzed in detail. At the start of the race, the 94.0 kg Bo

lt accelerated from rest at a rate of 9.50 m/s^2 for the first 0.890 s, and eventually reached a top speed of 12.4 m/s by exerting an average horizontal force of 820 N against the ground for the entire 9.58 s duration of the race. a. What was the average horizontal force (in N) exerted by Bolt against the ground during the first 0.890 s of the race?b. What was Bolt's speed (in m/s) after the initial acceleration phase?c. What was the power expended by Bolt during the initial acceleration phase?d. It has been shown that, because of his large frame and 6'5" height, Bolt experienced significant drag forces during the sprint. To estimate the energy lost to drag forces during the race, let's focus on the remaining 9.58 s − 0.890 s = 8.69 s of the race after Bolt's initial burst of acceleration. The drag force varies with speed, but let's find an average drag force over the last 8.69 s of the race. Model the drag force as a friction force and find the increase in internal energy of Bolt and the surrounding air in these 8.69 s as Bolt runs through the air.e. Finally, find the power that Bolt must expend just to overcome the drag force and compare it to the result in part (c).

a) 893 N

b) 8.5 m/s

c) 3816 W

d) 69780 J

e) 8030 W

Explanation:

a)

The net force acting on Bolt during the acceleration phase can be written using Newton's second law of motion:

F_{net}=ma

where

m is Bolt's mass

a is the acceleration

In the first 0.890 s of motion, we have

m = 94.0 kg (Bolt's mass)

a=9.50 m/s^2 (acceleration)

So, the net force is

F_{net}=(94.0)(9.50)=893 N

And according to Newton's third law of motion, this force is equivalent to the force exerted by Bolt on the ground (because they form an action-reaction pair).

b)

Since Bolt's motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can find his final speed by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In the first phase of Bolt's race we have:

u = 0 m/s (he starts from rest)

a=9.50 m/s^2 (acceleration)

t = 0.890 s (duration of the first phase)

Solving for v,

v=0+(9.50)(0.890)=8.5 m/s

c)

First of all, we can calculate the work done by Bolt to accelerate to a speed of

v = 8.5 m/s

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, so

W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-0

where

m = 94.0 kg is Bolt's mass

v = 8.5 m/s is Bolt's final speed after the first phase

K_i = 0 J is the initial kinetic energy

So the work done is

W=\frac{1}{2}(94.0)(8.5)^2=3396 J

The power expended is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

t = 0.890 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

P=\frac{3396}{0.890}=3816 W

d)

First of all, we need to find what is the average force exerted by Bolt during the remaining 8.69 s of motion.

In the first 0.890 s, the force exerted was

F_1=893 N

We know that the average force for the whole race is

F_{avg}=820 N

Which can be rewritten as

F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}

And solving for F_2, we find the average force exerted by Bolt on the ground during the second phase:

F_{avg}=\frac{0.890 F_1 + 8.69 F_2}{0.890+8.69}\\F_2=\frac{(0.890+8.69)F_{avg}-0.890F_1}{8.69}=812.5 N

The net force exerted by Bolt during the second phase can be written as

F_{net}=F_2-D (1)

where D is the air drag.

The net force can also be rewritten as

F_{net}=ma

where

a=\frac{v-u}{t} is the acceleration in the second phase, with

u = 8.5 m/s is the initial speed

v = 12.4 m/s is the final speed

t = 8.69 t is the time elapsed

Substituting,

a=\frac{12.4-8.5}{8.69}=0.45 m/s^2

So we can now find the average drag force from (1):

D=F_2-F_{net}=F_2-ma=812.5 - (94.0)(0.45)=770.2 N

So the increase in Bolt's internal energy is just equal to the work done by the drag force, so:

\Delta E=W=Ds

where

d is Bolt's displacement in the second part, which can be found by using suvat equation:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{12.4^2-8.5^2}{2(0.45)}=90.6 m

And so,

\Delta E=Ds=(770.2)(90.6)=69780 J

e)

The power that Bolt must expend just to voercome the drag force is given by

P=\frac{\Delta E}{t}

where

\Delta E is the increase in internal energy due to the air drag

t is the time elapsed

Here we have:

\Delta E=69780 J

t = 8.69 s is the time elapsed

Substituting,

P=\frac{69780}{8.69}=8030 W

And we see that it is about twice larger than the power calculated in part c.

A bar on a hinge starts from rest and rotates with an angular acceleration α = 12 + 5t, where α is in rad/s2 and t is in seconds
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Ф = 239.73 rad

Explanation:

α = 12 + 15×t

W = ∫α×dt

   = ∫(12 + 5×t)×dt

   = 12×t + 2.5×t^2

then:

Ф = ∫W×dt

   = ∫(12×t + 2.5×t^2)dt

   = 6×t^2 + 5/6×t^3

therefore the angle at t = 4.88s is:

Ф = 6×(4.88)^2 + 5/6×(4.88)^3

   = 239.73 rad

Vision is blurred if the head is vibrated at 29 Hz because the vibrations are resonant with the natural frequency of the eyeball
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

k = 4422.35  KN/m

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency ,f= 29 Hz

m = 7.5 g

Natural frequency ω

ω = 2 π f

We also know that for spring mass system

ω ² m =k        

k=Spring constant

So we can say that

( 2 π f)² =  m k

By putting the values

(2 x π x 29)² = 7.5 x 10⁻³  k

33167.69 = 7.5 x 10⁻³  k

k=4422.35 x  10³ N/m

k = 4422.35  KN/m

Therefore spring constant will be 4422.35  KN/m
