Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

40 metres covered in 6 seconds

Max speed attained after 6seconds

75 meters covered after 11 seconds

Average Speed for first 40 meters :

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 40m / 6s

Speed = 6.67m/s

To obtain the maximum speed :

Next (75 - 40) meters = 35 meters was covered in (11 - 6)seconds = 5 seconds

Speed at this point is maximum :

Hence, maximum speed = (35m / 5s) = 7m/s

Suppose, Manuel runs for an additional z seconds after reaching max speed :

Distance from starting line 6+z seconds after race started?

Distance after 6 seconds = 40 metres

Distance after z seconds = 7 * z

Total distance = (40 + 7z)

What is Manuel's distance from the starting line x seconds after the race started (provided x≥6x)?

Distance for first 6 seconds = 40 meters + distance covered after 6 seconds = (7 * (x-6))

40 + 7(x - 6)
