Speed is the rate at which something covers a distance; velocity is the same but it takes into account whether it goes forwards or backwards; and acceleration is the rate of an increase in speed.

Answer:

$x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

$0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x$

$x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}$

$x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

The required distance from A to B is $x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

A runner completes the 200-meter dash with a time of 19.80 seconds. What was the runner's average speed in miles per hour?

andriy [413]

Answer:

v = 22.54 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 200 m

Time, t = 19.8 s

We need to find the runner's average speed.

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

200 m = 0.124 miles

19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h

So,

Speed = distance/time

$v=\dfrac{0.124}{0.0055}\\\\v=22.54\ mph$

So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.
