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).

Answer:

3kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Small Sledgehammer:

Mass:3.0

Velocity:1.5

MASS×VELOCITY=MOMENTUM

3.0×1.5= 4.5 (momentum)

Large Sledgehammer:

Mass:4.0

Velocity:0.9

4.0×0.9=3.6 (momentum)

higher momentum is the smaller Sledgehammer.

What factors affect the amount of potential and kinetic energy a roller coaster has
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

As the roller coaster goes higher, more potential energy is increased in the roller coaster. Caused by gravity and the roller coaster's position, the potential energy is stored in the roller coaster. For example, this ball is at the top of a hill, where potential energy is at it's highest. Potential energy can be calculated by Potential Energy=Mass X Acceleration X Height.

1. your ear drums feel like they pop when you go deep enough under water. kinda feels like bricks. and it hurts if you stay under to long.

2. this could be a reaction from fluid pressure yes. can could be avoided by getting wax ear plugs however even with ear plugs going deep enough under water can still make your ears "pop" due to pressure but at high surfaces it would avoid that.

Consider a deer that runs from point A to point B. The distance the deer runs can be greater than the magnitude of its displacem
Serga [27]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Distance is defined as the length of the actual path traveled by the body.

Displacement is defined as the minimum distance between the two points.

the magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to the distance traveled by the body.

As a deer runs from A to b , so it means the distance traveled by the deer is either equal to the magnitude of displacement or always greater than the magnitude of displacement of the deer.

Displacement can never be greater than the distance.

Thus, the option is true.
