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 baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high

What is the relationship between DNA and mutation
Scrat [10]

Answer:

A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life. An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material of genetic variation

A nonlinear spring is used to launch a toy car. The car is pushed against the spring, compressing the spring 2.5 cm. The force t
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1.56 J

Explanation:

given,

Spring compression, x = 2.5 cm

Force exerts by the spring,

F = - k x

k = 5000 N/m

Potential energy stored = ?

energy stored in the spring

PE = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

PE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 5000\times 0.025^2

PE = 1.56 J

Hence, the potential energy stored in the car is equal to 1.56 J.
