Sally and Ramona were competing in a four-lap, one-mile foot race. Sally’s style was to run at a constant rate of 12 mph. Ramona

decided to run her first three laps at 11 mph, and save a ‘kick’ in order to run a 16 mph pace for the fourth and final lap. Who wins the race, and by how many minutes or seconds?

Sally wins the race by 0.03 min

Explanation:

To find time = distance / velocity

Sally;

1 mile / 12 mph

= ¹/12 hrs * 60

= 5 min

Ramona;

³/4 mile ÷ 11 mph  +  ¹/4 mile ÷ 16 mph

= ³/44 hrs + ¹/64 hrs

= 4.09 min + 0.94 min

= 5.03 min

Why does a batsman striking a cricket ball follow through?​
Over [174]

A good follow-through maintains flow in the motion. It is to hit 'smooth', rather than to hit 'hard'. It is to maintain a certain 'looseness' in the swing, rather than 'tension' or 'over-hitting' the ball with too much power.

An arrow is projected by a bow vertically up with a velocity of 40 m/s, and reaches a target in 3 s. What is the velocity of the
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

initial velocity u= 40m/s

time taken t=3seconds

final velocity v=?

Step two:

applying the first equation of motion

v=u-gt---  (the -ve sign implies that the arrow is against gravity)

assume g=9.81m/s^2

v=40-9.81*3

v=40-29.43

v=10.57m/s

Step three:

how high the target is located

applying

s=ut-1/2gt^2

s=40*3-1/2(9.81)*3^2

s=120-88.29/2

s=120-44.145

s=75.86m

A hockey puck moves 22 meters northward, then 16 meters southward, and finally 4 meters northward.
xenn [34]

Answer:

Distance moved = 42 meters

Mag and Dir = 10 meters northward

Explanation:

Distance is total distance traveled which = 22+16+4 = 42 meters

Displacement is the amount of distance moved from the start point to the end point straight line so our equation for the magnitude is 22-16+4 = 10 meters. Then the direction is northward from the start point. This answer would also be a vector because it has a magnitude and direction.
