In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10.0 km race in a time of 27 min , 43.6 s . Suppose "Pre" was at the 7.43 km mark a

t a time of 25.0 min . If he accelerated for 60 s and then maintained his increased speed for the remainder of the race, calculate his acceleration over the 60 s interval. Assume his instantaneous speed at the 7.43 km mark was the same as his overall average speed up to that time.

Answer:

Acceleration, a = 0.101 m/s²

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance / total time.

At the 7.43km mark, total distance = 7.43km or 7430m

Total time = 25 * 60 s = 1500s

Average speed = 7430m/1500s = 4.95m/s

He then covers (10 - 7.43)km = 2.57 km = 2570 m

in t = 27m43.6s - 25min = 2m43.6s = 163.6 s

Then he accelerates for 60 s, and maintains this velocity V, for the remaining (163.6 - 60)s = 103.6 s.

From V = u + at; V = 4.95m/s + a *60s

Distance covered while accelerating is

s = ut + ½at² = 4.95m/s * 60s + ½ a *(60s)² = 297m + a*1800s²

Distance covered while at constant velocity, v after accelerating is

D = velocity * time

Where v = 4.95m/s + a*60s

D = (4.95m/s + a*60s) * 103.6s = 512.82m + a*6216s²

Total distance covered after initial 7.43 km, S + D = 2570 m, so

2570 m = 297m + a*1800s² + 512.82m + a*6216s²

2570 = 809.82 + a*8016

a = 809.82m / 8016s² = 0.101 m/s²

The speed of an object undergoing constant acceleration increased from 8.0 meters per second to 16.0 meters per second in 10. Se
saw5 [17]

v₀ = initial speed of the object = 8 meter/second

v = final speed of the object = 16 meter/second

t = time taken to increase the speed = 10 seconds

d = distance traveled by the object in the given time duration = ?

using the kinematics equation

d = (v + v₀) t/2

inserting the above values in the above equation

d = (16 + 8) (10)/2

d = 120 meter

julsineya [31]

Explanation:

Yes,  evidently, the process is consistent with the scientific process because in scientific process falsification and modification are two very important traits. So this new concept have modified the existing theories.

Through the modification a theory is adjusted without undermining other discovering made through the theory's prediction.

There are many other evidences that prove this fact for example Einstien's Theory of relativity also changes the existing concepts.

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l
hram777 [196]

Answer:

t = 37.6 s

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

v_i = 75.1 km/h

now we know that

v_i = 20.86 m/s

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

v_f = 15 km/h

v_f = 4.17 m/s

now we can use kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)

t = 37.6 s
