It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.
Question:
A 63.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race?
Answer:
Time for the race will be t = 9.26 s
Explanation:
Given data:
As the sprinter starts the race so initial velocity = v₁ = 0
Distance = s₁ = 20 m
Acceleration = a = 4.20 ms⁻²
Distance = s₂ = 100 m
We first need to find the final velocity (v₂) of sprinter at the end of the first 20 meters.
Using 3rd equation of motion
(v₂)² - (v₁)² = 2as₁ = 2(4.2)(20)
v₂ = 12.96 ms⁻¹
Time for 20 m distance = t₁ = (v₂ - v ₁)/a
t₁ = 12.96/4.2 = 3.09 s
He ran the rest of the race at this velocity (12.96 m/s). Since has had already covered 20 meters, he has to cover 80 meters more to complete the 100 meter dash. So the time required to cover the 80 meters will be
Time for 100 m distance = t₂ = s₂/v₂
t₂ = 80/12.96 = 6.17 s
Total time = T = t₁ + t₂ = 3.09 + 6.17 = 9.26 s
T = 9.26 s
Answer:
0
Explanation:
m = Mass of person
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
d = Vertical height from the ground
F = Force = Weight = mg
Net work done would be

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0
You can increase the capacitance of a capacitor by decreasing the plate spacing (A) or by increasing the area of the plates (D).
'A' and 'D' both do the job, so the correct choice is<em> (E)</em> .
