Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m
Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s
We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,
v = d/t
Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.
Answer:
y = 67.6 feet, y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram
Large triangle Projector up to the screen
tan θ = y / L
For the small triangle. Projector up to the person
tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)
The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations
y₀ / (L -d) = y / L
y = y₀ L / (L-d)
The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics
v = d / t
d = v t
we replace
y = y₀ L / (L - v t)
y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)
y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹
This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time
For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of
y = 114.4 / (22-13)
y = 67.6 feet
