A certain sprinter has a top speed of 10.5 m/s. If the sprinter starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate, he is able

to reach his top speed in a distance of 12.0 m. He is then able to maintain his top speed for the remainder of a 100 m race. (a) What is his time for the 100 m race

Answer:

Total time = 10.667 seconds

Explanation:

For the first 12m

V² = u² + 2as

10.5² = 0² + 2a(12)

110.25 = 24a

a = 4.59375 m/s²

V = u + at

10.5 = 0 + 4.59375t

t = 10.5/4.59375

t = 2.286 seconds

For the remaining race

100-12 = 88m

He travels at a constant speed for 88m

S = ut + 1/2(at²)

But a = 0

S = ut

88= 10.5t

t = 88/10.5

t = 8.38.seconds

Total time = 2.286 + 8.381

Total time = 10.667 seconds

A car travelling at 40 m/s comes to a halt in 8 seconds. What is the car’s acceleration and how far does it travel while it is s
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: Acceleration = 5m/s^2; Distance traveled = 320 m

Explanation:

Velocity of car = 40m/s

Time taken = 8 seconds

Acceleration = ?

Distance traveled = ?

A) Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time

i.e acceleration = velocity / time

acceleration = 40m/s / 8 seconds

Acceleration = 5m/s^2

B) To get how far the car traveled before stopping, obtain the distance from the formula:

velocity = distance traveled / time

40m/s = distance / 8 seconds

Distance = 40m/s x 8 seconds

Distance = 320 m

Thus, the car’s acceleration is 5m/s^2 while it traveled 320 metres before stopping.
