A runner moving at a constant speed of 10.0m/s rounds a curve of radius 5.00m. Compute the acceleration of the runner. Are these

numbers realistic? Help and please show me the steps

The acceleration is given by:
a = v²/r
a = 10²/5
a = 20 m/s²

This is not a realistic value for a runner because it is very large.

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco

Reika [66]

Answer:

$t=750s$

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

$\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt$

$x_f$ is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

$x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0$

We have $x_f_1=x_f_2$ . Thus, solving for t:

$x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s$
