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

Warning triangles, flares, a vehicle's hazard lights, or emergency vehicles ahead, are all clues that you might be approaching _
daser333 [38]

Answer:

B. A collision scene

Explanation:

It could have been a parade ceremony, but, if you notice the vehicle's hazard lights or an emergency vehicle ahead, it is common sense to figure that they is a collision scene nearby.

a car traveling at a velocity of 2 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 4.5 m/s^2 over a distance of 340 m. How fast will it be goin
ra1l [238]
Vi = 2m/s
a= 4.5 m/s 
d= 340 m
vf= ?

use this equation ...  vf^2=vi<span>^2+2ad

you should get vf = 55.3

Suppose of methane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly and a temperature of . Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas
Licemer1 [7]

There are supposed to be numbers in these places:

" _____ of methane"

" ... pressure of exactly _____ "

" ... temperature of _____ "

I've seen a lot of questions with missing numbers before, but I think this is the first time I ever saw a question where even the number of significant digits to round the answer to is missing.

"Round your answer to _____ significant digits."
