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

The reasoning is wrong if we look into Newton's Law of gravitation.

Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

The law is written as follows;

$F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$
