Answer:

The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of the sprinter is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the sprinter at a time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the starting point and the sprinter starts from rest, then, x0 and v0 are equal to zero:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

At t = 9.9 s, x = 71 m

71 m = 1/2 · a · (9.9 s)²

2 · 71 m / (9.9 s)² = a

a = 1.4 m/s²

The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²

a satellite with a geostationary orbit travels at a constant speed of 1676401km/h if it takes the satellite 24 hours to revolve
AlexFokin [52]
This "1676401km/h" can't be right. A geostationary satellite orbits at <span>3.07 km/s, or 11,052 km/h.

Okay, the problem is done like this:

2*pi*D = speed * 24 h, if you plug your </span>1676401km/h:

2pi*D = 1676401*24 ---> D  = 6,403,365 km

But again you should make sure what the speed is in the statement. Best!

Which one of the following types of training involves 10 to 30 minutes of high-intensity exercise?
Goshia [24]

Correct answer choice is:



C. Medium range



Explanation:



Medium range exercises are used to gain extra strength and fitness. Usually, heavyweights are used with less number of repetitions. These sort of exercises are mostly the hardest t do. All you need is to have a high level of motivation and stamina, which can be gained by running or cycling.

Which tool would you use to measure the height of a cube of metal
SCORPION-xisa [38]
It depends on the size of the cube, but you could use a ruler for almost any size, or if it is small enough, you could use a caliper to get a very precise measurement.

Two metal plates 15mm apart have a potential difference of 750v between them. The force on a small charged sphere placed between
Romashka [77]

Answer:

50,000 V/m

Explanation:

The electric field between two charged metal plates is uniform.

The relationship between potential difference and electric field strength for a uniform field is given by the equation

\Delta V=Ed

where

\Delta V is the potential difference

E is the magnitude of the electric field

d is the  distance between the plates

In this problem, we have:

\Delta V=750 V is the potential difference between the plates

d = 15 mm = 0.015 m is the distance between the plates

Therefore, rearranging the equation we find the strength of the electric field:

E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}=\frac{750}{0.015}=50,000 V/m
