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

Assuming the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is exactly one-sixth of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, what is t
uysha [10]

<u>I have assumed a weight of 120 N on Earth.</u>

Answer:

<em>The object weighs 20 N on the moon</em>

Explanation:

Weight

The weight of an object depends on the mass m of the object and the acceleration of gravity g of the place they are in.

The formula to calculate the weight is:

W = m.g

If g_e is the acceleration of gravity on Earth, and g_m is the acceleration of gravity on the moon, we know:

g_m=1/6 g_e

Dividing by ge:

g_m/g_e = 1/6

An object of weight We=120 N on planet Earth has a mass of:

m = 120 / g_e

Multiplying by gm:

m.g_m=120 g_m/g_e

Substituting the ratio of accelerations of gravity:

m.g_m=120 * 1/6

Since m.gm is the weight on the Moon Wm:

W_m=20~N

The object weighs 20 N on the moon

Physical Science - 02.05 - Question #3
Reika [66]

Answer:

1. They should not trust this study. 2. Pseudoscience.

Explanation:

Because they drank the water and after 24 hours, they said that it was gone. Head aches go away sooner than that. Another reason is that some people could have lied about having a headache just so they could have the water or their headache could have gone away before they drank the water.

How is the Sun related to nuclear electromagnetic and heat energy
Snezhnost [94]

-- The source of most of the energy that radiates from the sun is nuclear energy.

-- Most of the energy that radiates from the sun is electromagnetic energy.

-- Heat energy is part of the electromagnetic energy that radiates from the sun.
Other parts include radio, microwave, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-ray energy.
