Let's take a look at something here. I thought the 15 mph for a base runner was kind of slow. I mean, it was a heck of lot faste

r than I could run, but still 15 mph, equates to about 6.7 m/s. We saw earlier that Usain Bolt average speed was 100 m/9.59 s which is 10.4 m/s. I just looked the NCAA men's 100 m dash record this year--10.82 s. Calculate that speed in in mph.

Answer:

The speed is 20.70 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 6.7 m/s = 15 mph

1\ m/s = \dfrac{15}{6.7}

1 m/s =2.24\ mph

In 10.4 m/s,

10.4\ m/s=2.24\times10.4\ mph

10.4\ m/s=23.3\ mph

If 100 m record in 10.82 sec

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{100}{10.82}

v=9.242\ m/s

v=9.242\times2.24\ mph

v=20.70\ mph

Hence, The speed is 20.70 mph.

Two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N. How far apart are the two charges ?
fgiga [73]
The Coulomb's force acting between two charges is
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e = 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, and r the distance between them.

Using q_1 = q_2 = -3 C, we can find the distance between the two charges when the force is F=19.2 N:
r=  \sqrt{k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }=  \sqrt{ 8.99\cdot 10^9 \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} }=6.5 \cdot 10^4 m = 65 km

A boy who is riding his bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. ten second later, he is moving at 15 m/s. what is his
boyakko [2]

Answer:

1 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

Using

a = (v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where a = accelartion of the bicycle, v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: v = 15 m/s, u = 5 m/s, t = 10 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

a = (15-5)/10

a = 10/10

a = 1 m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the bicycle is 1 m/s²

If an object has no acceleration, can you conclude that no forces are exerted on it
MrMuchimi

No. It has no acceleration, which just means that the forces acting on it are equal and opposite, not that there are no forces exerted on it.

But if you're talking about the resulting Net Force, then yes you can conclude there is no Net Force acting on an object with no acceleration.

What is the frequency of a wave if the speed of the wave is 7.9m/s and the wavelength is 3.1m?​
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<h2>2.55 Hz</h2>

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave given it's velocity and wavelength can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{c}{ \lambda}  \\

where

c is the velocity of the wave in m/s

\lambda is the wavelength in m

From the question

c = 7.9 m/s

\lambda = 3.1 m

We have

f  = \frac{7.9}{3.1}  = 2.548387... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.55 Hz</h3>

Hope this helps you

A freight train has a mass of 1.5 X 10^7 kg. If the
Elena L [17]

Answer:

t=444.4s

Explanation:

m=1.5*10^7 kg

F=7.5*10^5 N

v=80km/h*(1h/3600s)*(1000m/1km)=22.22m/s

<u>Second Newton's Law:</u>

F=ma

a=F/m=7.5*10^5/(1.5*10^7)=0.05m/s^2

<u>Kinematics equation:</u>

vf=vo+at=at      

vo: initial velocity equal zero

t=vf/a=22.22/0.05=444.4s
