1) Calculate the speed of a runner who runs 100 m in 20s

Physics

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

This is how you calculate his speed, for the 100metres. That is, the average speed for the entire distance, including the start from intertia until the race end where the athlete is decelerating. Multiply the time by 10, and divide 3600 by that figure. i.e. 10 by10 equals 100. Divide 3600 by 100 and you get 36 which is the speed figure you requested.

A female athlete ran 200 metres a few years ago and in the middle section of the race covered 100 metres in that race in a time under 10 seconds. That is, she ran a sub 10second 100metres from a flying start. This great athlete from Slovenia, also ran a 100 metre race (from a stationary start) in a time under 11 seconds, when she was 48 years of age. Her name is Merlene Ottey.

Energy is transferred through a solid
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of a substance, without moving the particles to a new location. Usually occurs in solids. When heat is supplied to one end, molecules at that end start to move more quickly.

X-rays cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere. Which of these is the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays f
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

Two balls have their centers 2.0 m apart. One ball has a mass of m1 = 7.9 kg. The other has a mass of m2 = 6.1 kg. What is the g
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

From newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = Gm1m2/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the balls, m1 = mass of the first ball, m2 = mass of the second ball, r = distance between their centers.

G = gravitational constant

Given: m1 = 7.9 kg, m2 = 6.1 kg, r = 2.0 m, G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/C²

Substituting into equation 1

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹×7.9×6.1/2²

F = 321.427×10⁻¹¹/4

F = 30.36×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Hence the force between the balls = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N
