In a women's 100-m race, accelerating uniformly, laura takes 1.96 s and healan 3.11 s to attain their maximum speeds, which they

each maintain for the rest of the race. they cross the finish line simultaneously, both setting a world record of 10.4 s. (a) what is the acceleration of each sprinter?

First we write the kinematic equations
 a
 v = a * t + vo
 r = (1/2) at ^ 2 + vo * t + ro
 We have then that:
 (10.4 - t) = time that they run at their maximum speed
 For Laura:
 d = (1/2) at ^ 2 + (at) (10.4 - t)
 100 m = (1/2) a (1.96) ^ 2 + [(1.96) a] (8.44)
 100 = 1.9208a + 16.5424a
 100 = 18.4632a
 a = 100 / 18.4632 = 5.42 m / s ^ 2
 For Healen:
 100 = (1/2) a (3.11) ^ 2 + [(3.11) a] (7.29)
 100 = 4.83605a + 22.6719a
 100 = 27.50795a
 a = 100 / 27.50795
 a = 3.64 m / s ^ 2
 Answer:
 the acceleration of each sprinter is
 Laura: 5.42 m / s ^ 2
 Healen 3.64 m / s ^ 2

A block of mass 0.84 kg is suspended by a string which is wrapped so that it is at a radius of 0.061 m from the center of a pull
lora16 [44]

Answer:

E_l = 1.713 J

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of block is M_b = 0.84 kg

radius of block = 0.061 m

moment of inertia is 6.20 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2

D is distance covered by block = 0.65 m

speed of block is 1.705 m/s

From conservation of momentum  we have

M_b g D = \frac{1}{2} M_b v^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 +  E_{loss}

0.84 \times 9.81 \times 0.65 = \frac{1}{2}\times  0.84 \times 1.705^2 +\frac{1}{2} \times 6.2 \times 10^{-3} [\frac{1.705}{0.061}]^2 + E_l

solving for energy loss

E_l = 1.713 J

5) [Honors]A seagull, ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s, drops a shell when it is 12.5m above the ground. (A)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(B) 13.9 m

(C) 1.06 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

(C) When the shell returns to a height of 12.5 m, the final velocity v is -5.2 m/s.

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s
