Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 62.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate fr

om 2.00 to 6.00 m/s in a distance of 25.0 m, if he encounters a headwind that exerts an average force of 30.0 N against him.

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

marishachu [46]

Explanation :

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier reported four "element" classifications but included some substances that were combinations of elements rather than true elements in his listing.

He is also known as " father of modern chemistry". He gives the modern system of naming chemical substances. He also gives a theory for chemical reactivity of the oxygen.

Consider the displacement vectors Ā=(i +6j)m, B = (3i– 7j)m,
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Dx = -0.5

Dy = -0.25

Explanation:

Two vectors are given in rectangular components form as follows:

A = i + 6j

B = 3i - 7j

It is also given that:

A - B - 4D = 0

so, we solve this to find D vector:

(i + 6j) - (3i - 7j) - 4D = 0

- 2i - j = 4D

D = - (2/4)i - (1/4)j

D = - (1/2)i - (1/4)j

<u>D = - 0.5i - 0.25j</u>

Therefore,

<u>Dx = -0.5</u>

<u>Dy = -0.25</u>
