Answer:

Runner will run for 210m

Step by Step Explanation:

According to Newton's first of motion,

Vf=Vi+at

Given is

the speed with which runner is running will be Vi, he is running with accelertion a=4.2m/s2 fot time t=10sec

Vf will be 0 because runner will stop after winning the race

we will find Vi from equation 1,

Vi=Vf-at

   = 0- 4.2*10

   =-42 m/s  (negative sign is showing decceleration)

So, Vi=42 m/s

According to Newton's third of motion,

2aS= Vf^2-Vi^2

S is distance, he will cover before stopping,

2(4.2)S= 0- 42^2

S=1764/8.4

S=210m

Runner will run for 210m

. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 100.0-kg meteor approaching the Earth at a speed of 10.0 km/s. Remember that 1 km = 1000 m.
anastassius [24]
Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s

What is the acceleration of a 0.90g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing?
Scilla [17]
The acceleration of a 0.90 g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing is the sum of the acceleration of the movement of the finger and the acceleration of gravity. In this case, this is different when the finger goes down, since the acceleration now becomes the difference between the two.

Can you help me??????????????????????????)?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Velocity is a change in displacement over change in time and uses the units m/s.

Both are rates of change and can be positive or negative.

Acceleration is a change in velocity over change in time and uses the units m/s².

Explanation:

Velocity is the change in displacement over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s because that is a displacement unit over a time unit.

Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time, this makes it a rate of change. It can be positive or negative because it is also a vector quantity. It uses the units m/s² (m/s/s) because that is a velocity unit over a time unit.
