Answer:

We are given:

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

Solving for 'a'

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²

Answer:

Explanation:

Using conservation of momentum

$m_1=59+220=279kg$

$m_2=2.1kg$

$U_1=12m/s$

$U_2=-44m/s$

$m_1U_1+m_2U_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\\frac{278\times 12-2.1\times 44}{279+2.1}=V\\\\V=11.58m/s$

a sprinter with a mass of 80kg accelerates uniformly from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. a.)what is the runners acceleration? b.) what i

Katyanochek1 [597]

Part A:
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time

Substituting,
a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
ANSWER: 3 m/s²

Part B:
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and
a is acceleration

Substituting,
F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N

ANSWER: 240 N 

Part C:
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
d = V₀t + 0.5at²

Substituting,
d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
d = 13.5 m

ANSWER: d = 13.5 m
