Answer:
largest lead = 3 m
Explanation:
Basically, this problem is about what is the largest possible distance anchorman for team B can have over the anchorman for team A when the final leg started that anchorman for team A won the race. This show that anchorman for team A must have higher velocity than anchorman for team B to won the race as at the starting of final leg team B runner leads the team A runner.
So, first we need to calculate the velocities of both the anchorman
given data:
Distance = d = 100 m
Time arrival for A = 9.8 s
Time arrival for B = 10.1 s
Velocity of anchorman A = D / Time arrival for A
=100/ 9.8 = 10.2 m/s
Velocity of anchorman B = D / Time arrival for B
=100/10.1 = 9.9 m/s
As speed of anchorman A is greater than anchorman B. So, anchorman A complete the race first than anchorman B. So, anchorman B covered lower distance than anchorman A. So to calculate the covered distance during time 9.8 s for B runner, we use
d = vt
= 9.9 x 9.8 = 97 m
So, during the same time interval, anchorman A covered 100 m distance which is greater than anchorman B distance which is 97 m.
largest lead = 100 - 97 = 3 m
So if his lead no more than 3 m anchorman A win the race.
Answer:
Safety
Explanation:
Expressways are banked to resist centifugal action
If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.
Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.
The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.
