A 100-meter sprint is a race using only the straight side of a racetrack. A 400-meter sprint is a race that makes one complete l

ap around a racetrack. Why are velocity and speed the same for a 100-m sprint but not a 400-m sprint?

On edgentiy the answer is. In the 100-m sprint, the displacement is 100 meters and the distance is 100 meters. This means speed and velocity are the same for the 100-m sprint. In the 400-m sprint, the distance is 400-m, but the runners stop at the same place they start so the displacement is zero. Zero displacement means zero velocity.

Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.

For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity

For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity

1. A 4-N force is used to move an object 2 m in 10 s. Which of the following is the power generated while moving the object?
guajiro [1.7K]

Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

\begin{gathered} p=\frac{w}{t} \\ \text{where} \\ w=\text{work done} \\ t=\text{time} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} \text{work done=fd} \\ f=force=4N \\ d=\text{displacement}=2m \\ t=2\sec s \\ p=\frac{fd}{t}=\frac{4\times2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8watts \end{gathered}

How do I find the approximate velocity of "the object", on the graph at 5 seconds?
MakcuM [25]

First, foremost, and most critically, you must look at the graph, and critically
examine its behavior from just before until just after the 5-seconds point.

Without that ability ... since the graph is nowhere to be found ... I am hardly
in a position to assist you in the process.
