A world-class sprinter can burst out of the blocks to essentially top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race.

what is the average acceleration of this sprinter, and how long does it take her to reach that speed?

Given:
u = 0, initial speed (sprinter starts from rest)
v = 11.5 m/s, final speed
s = 15 m, distance traveled to attain final speed.

Let
a =  average acceleration,
t = time taken to attain final speed.

Then
v² = u² + 2as
or
(11.5 m/s)² = 2*(a m/s²)*(15 m)
a = 11.5²/(2*15) = 4.408 m/s²

Also
v = u +a t
or
(11.5 m/s) = (4.408 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 11.5/4.408 = 2.609 s

Answer:
The average acceleration is 4.41 m/s² (nearest hundredth).
The time required is 2.61 s (nearest hundredth).

Give reason for the following:
Zigmanuir [339]

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

250 mL 0.1 M HCl solution is mixed with 250 mL
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is 0.05 M

Explanation:

The reaction of neutralization between HCl and NaOH is the following:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⇄  H₂O(l)

The number of moles of HCl is:

n_{HCl} = C*V = 0.1 mol/L*0.250L = 0.025 moles

Similarly, the number of moles of NaOH is:

n_{NaOH} = C*V = 0.2 mol/L*0.250L = 0.05 moles

Now, from the reaction of HCl and NaOH we have the following number of moles of NaOH remaining:

n_{NaOH} = 0.05 moles - 0.025 moles = 0.025 moles

Finally, the concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is:

C =\frac{n_{NaOH}}{V_{T}}=\frac{0.025 moles}{0.250*2 L} = 0.05 moles/L

Therefore, the concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is 0.05 M.

I hope it helps you!
