A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

W=F.x

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

F=m.a

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

v_f=v_o+at

v_f=at

Solving for a

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}

a=5.4\ m/s^2

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}

Since vo=0

\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}

x=2.7\ m

The force is given by

F=m.a

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

F=2.7m

Computing the work done by the sprinter

W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)

W=14.58m

The power is finally computed

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}

P=14.58m

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}

a=8.8\ m/s^2

The distance is

\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}

x=3.8\ m

The net force is

F=m(8.8)=8.8m

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m

At last, the output power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

If a Ferrari, with an initial velocity of 10 m/s,
soldier1979 [14.2K]
<em>Acceleration at 50m/sec² :  means every second the velocity increases by 50 m/sec. In 3 seconds the velocity increases by 150 m/s. So total will be 160 m/sec.

the formula is
</em>

<em>  V = final velocity  =  U initial velocity + acceleration a * time duration t</em>

<em>  V = 10 m/s + 50 m/sec² * 3 sec  =  160 m/sec</em>

Which of the following terms refers to the shortest length from a starting
shutvik [7]

Answer:

A) Distance

Explanation:

The shortest distance that is represented as the measurement from one point to another is called distance.

It should not be confused with displacement as it represents the sum of the distances travelled by a body or person.

As a mass on a spring moves farther from the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change
Umnica [9.8K]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

m =  the mass of the object
x = the distance of the object from the equilibrium position at time t.
v = the velocity of the object at time t
a = the acceleration of the object at time t
A =  the amplitude ( the maximum distance) of the mass from the equilibrium
        position

The oscillatory motion of the object (without damping) is given by
x(t) = A sin(ωt)
where
ω =  the circular frequency of the motion
T =  the period of the motion so that ω = (2π)/T

The velocity and acceleration are respectively
v(t) = ωA cos(ωt)
a(t) = -ω²A sin(ωt)

In the equilibrium position,
x is zero;
v is maximum;
a is zero.

At the farthest distance (A) from the equilibrium position,
x is maximum;
v is zero;
a is zero.

In the graphs shown, it is assumed (for illustrative purposes) that
A = 1 and T = 1.

a projectile is shot horizontally from the edge of a cliff, 230m above the ground. the projectile lands 300m from base of the cl
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height of cliff = 230 m

Distance = 300 m

Suppose, determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground.

We need to calculate the time

Using second equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Where, s = vertical height of cliff

u = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

230=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{230\times2}{9.8}}

t=6.85 sec

Hence, The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.
