World-class sprinters can accelerate out of the starting blocks with an acceleration that is nearly horizontal and has magnitude

15m/s^2 .
Part A
How much horizontal force F must a sprinter of mass 64 kg exert on the starting blocks to produce this acceleration?
Express your answer in newtons using two significant figures.

Answer:

A. The force exerted by the sprinter must be  9.6 × 10² N.

B. The force that propels the sprinter is exerted by the blocks.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s begin with part B:

The sprinter exerts a force on the blocks and, as a reaction, the blocks exert a force on the sprinter that is of equal magnitude but opposite direction (Newton´s third law). This reaction of the blocks causes the acceleration of the sprinter.

Part A

The force exerted by the blocks can be calculated using Newton´s second law:

F = m · a

Where:

F = exerted force.

m = mass of the object being accelerated.

a = acceleration of the object after applying the force on the object.

F = m · a

F = 64 kg · 15 m/s²

F = 9.6 × 10² N

What is the G.P.E of 675 newtons on 26000 meter mountain
vagabundo [1.1K]
GPE=mgh, where m=mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, h=height
We have a force of 675N already, so mg=675N

<span>GPE=mgh=675(26000)=17.55x10^6J</span>

Charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an infinitely long solid Cylinder of radius R what is the electric fiel
Arada [10]

Solution :

Let us consider the Gaussian surface that is in the form of a cylinder having a radius of r and a length of A which is $\text{coaxial with the charged cylinder}$.

The charged enclosed by the cylinder is given by,

$q=\rho V$       (here, V = $\pi r^2l$  is the volume of the cylinder)

  $=\pi r^2lp$    

If $\rho$ is positive, then the electric field lines moves in the radial outward direction and is normal to Gaussian surface which is distributed uniformly.

Therefore, total flux through Gaussian cylinder is :

$\phi=EA_{cyl}$

   $=E(2\pi rl)$

Now using Gauss' law, we get

$2\pi \epsilon_0rlE = \pi r^2lp$

or $E=\frac{\rho r}{2 \epsilon_0}$

Therefore, the electric field is $E=\frac{\rho r}{2 \epsilon_0}$

Hence, option (d) is correct.
