Answer:

69.68 N

Explanation:

Work done is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f} - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}$

W = $F_{total} .d$

where m = mass of the sprinter

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

W = workdone

kf = final kinetic energy

ki = initial kinetic energy

d = distance traveled

Ftotal = total force

vf = 8m/s

vi= 2m/s

d = 25m

m = 60kg

inserting parameters to get:

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f} - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}$

$F_{total} .d =\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f} - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}$

$F_{total} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f} - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}}{d}$

$F_{total=} \frac{\frac{1}{2} X 62 X6^{2} -\frac{1}{2} X 62 X2^{2} }{25}$

= 39.7

we know that the force the sprinter exerted F sprinter, the force of the headwind Fwind = 30N

$F_{sprinter} = F_{total} + F_{wind} = 39.7 + 30 = 69.68 N$

Answer:

Force exerted by sprinter = 69.68 N

Explanation:

From work energy theorem, we know that, work done is equal to change in kinetic energy.

Thus,

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = (1/2)m•(v_f)² - (1/2)m•(v_i)² - - - - eq(1)

Now,

Work done is also;

W = Force x Distance = F•d - - - (2)

From the question, we are given ;

v_f = 6 m/s

v_i = 2 m/s

d = 25m

m = 62 kg

Equating equation 1 and 2,we get;

(1/2)m•(v_f)² - (1/2)m•(v_i)² = F•d

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain ;

(1/2)(62)[(6)² - (2)²] = F x 25

31(36 - 4) = 25F

992 = 25F

F = 39.68 N

The force the sprinter exerts backward on the track will be the sum of this force and the headwind force.

Thus,

Force of sprinter = 39.68 + 30 = 69.68N

The function x = (1.2 m) cos[(3πrad/s)t + π/5 rad] gives the simple harmonic motion of a body. At t = 9.7 s, what are the (a) di

nlexa [21]

Answer and Explanation:

Let:

$x(t)=Acos(\omega t+ \phi)$

The equation representing a simple harmonic motion, where:

$x=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}equilibrium\hspace{3}point\\A=Amplitude \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} motion\\\omega= Angular \hspace{3}frequency\\\phi=Initial\hspace{3} phase\\t=time$

As you may know the derivative of the position is the velocity and the derivative of the velocity is the acceleration. So we can get the velocity and the acceleration by deriving the position:

$v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt} =- \omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\\\a(t)=\frac{dv(t)}{dt} =- \omega^2 A cos(\omega t + \phi)$

Also, you may know these fundamental formulas:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} \\\\T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$

Now, using the previous information and the data provided by the problem, let's solve the questions:

(a)

$x(9.7)=1.2 cos((3 \pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx -0.70534m$

(b)

$v(9.7)=-(3\pi) (1.2) sin((3\pi *(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} ) \approx 9.1498 m/s$

(c)

$a(9.7)=-(3 \pi)^2(1.2)cos((3\pi*(9.7))+\frac{\pi}{5} )\approx -62.653m/s^2$

(d)

We can extract the phase of the motion, the angular frequency and the amplitude from the equation provided by the problem:

$\phi = \frac{\pi}{5}$

(e)

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi} =\frac{3\pi}{2 \pi} =\frac{3}{2} =1.5 Hz$

(f)

$T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} =\frac{2 \pi}{3 \pi} =\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.667s$

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is $v = 2.999 *10^{8} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is $t = 189 \ light-years$

The time to be spent on the ship is $t_{s} = 12 \ years$

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

$t_s = 2 * t * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }$

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=> $12 = 2 * 189 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }$

=> $v = 2.999 *10^{8} \ m/s$
