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

1. A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N in air, 36.0 N in water, and 41.0 N in an unknown
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) 6.42kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

a) Firstly we would calculate the volume of the metal using it`s weight in air and water , after finding the weight we would find the density .

Weight of metal in air = 50N = mg implies the mass of metal is 5kg.

Now the difference of weight of the metal in air and water = upthrust acting on it = volume (metal) p (liquid) g = V (1000)(10) = 14N. So volume of metal piece = 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3}. So density of metal = mass of metal / volume of metal = 5 / 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3} = 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) Water exerts a buoyant force to the metal which is 50−36 = 14N, which equals the weight of water displaced. The mass of water displaced is 14/10 = 1.4kg Since the density of water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 1.4L. Hence, we end up with 3.57kg/l. Moreover, the unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 9N. So the density of this liquid is 6.42kg/m^{3}
