Answer:
7.91 m/s
Explanation:
Speed: This can be defined as the ratio of this to time. Speed can also be the magnitude of a velocity or speed is velocity without direction.
The S.I unit of speed is m/s.
From the question,
K.E = 1/2(mv²)................ Equation 1
Where K.E = Kinetic Energy, m = mass of the runner, v = velocity of the runner.
make v the subject of the equation
v = √(2K.E/m).................Equation 2
Given: K.E = 1.09×10³ J, m = 34.8 kg.
Substitute into equation 2
v = √(2× 1.09×10³/34.8)
v = √(62.64)
v = 7.91 m/s.
Hence the speed of the runner = 7.91 m/s
