<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = ?

        Time, t = 6.8 s    

        Displacement, s = 1/4 mi =    400 meters

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²

                      a = 17.30 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 6.8 s

      Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8

                      v = 117.65 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s

How can you measure the distance an object has moved?
Naily [24]

You must observe the object twice.

-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.

-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.

-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.

What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point. 
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.

A person pulls a box across the floor with a rope. The rope makes an angle of 40 degrees tot he horizontal, and a total of 125 n
RSB [31]

Answer:

The angle formed of the rope with the surface = 40°

Force applied = 125Newtons

The displacement covered by the box =25metres

W= FDcos theta

[125×40×cos(40°) ] Joules

= [ (3125×0.76604444311)]Joules

= 2393.88888472 joules(ans)

If two objects of the same size move through the air at different speeds, which encounters the greater air resistance?a. The fas
blagie [28]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

(The faster object encounters more resistance)

Explanation:

Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)

Air resistance depends on various factors:

  • Speed of the object
  • Cross-sectional area of the object
  • Shape of the object

Formula:

F=\frac{1}{2}C_d\rho A v^{2}

As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
