Given :
Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .
To Find :
The acceleration of the cart.
Solution :
Since, acceleration is constant.
Using equation of motion :

Putting, t = 1 s and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².
Its like newtons 3rd law that once in motion a outer force has to stop it
The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)
<h3>What is power? </h3>
Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as
Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)
But
Work = weight × distance
Therefore,
Power = (weight × distance ) / time
<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
- Mass (m) = 55 Kg
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
- Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
- Distance (d) = 200 m
- Time (t) =?
Power = (weight × distance ) / time
5400 = (539 × 200) / t
5400 = 107800 / t
Cross multiply
5400 × t = 107800
Divide both side by 5400
t = 107800 / 5400
t = 20 s
