Transverse, I think. I may be wrong.
Answer:
69.68 N
Explanation:
Work done is equal to change in kinetic energy
W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = 
W = 
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 = 



= 39.7
we know that the force the sprinter exerted F sprinter, the force of the headwind Fwind = 30N

Answer:
total distance = 1868.478 m
Explanation:
given data
accelerate = 1.68 m/s²
time = 14.2 s
constant time = 68 s
speed = 3.70 m/s²
to find out
total distance
solution
we know train start at rest so final velocity will be after 14 .2 s is
velocity final = acceleration × time ..............1
final velocity = 1.68 × 14.2
final velocity = 23.856 m/s²
and for stop train we need time that is
final velocity = u + at
23.856 = 0 + 3.70(t)
t = 6.44 s
and
distance = ut + 1/2 × at² ...........2
here u is initial velocity and t is time for 14.2 sec
distance 1 = 0 + 1/2 × 1.68 (14.2)²
distance 1 = 169.37 m
and
distance for 68 sec
distance 2= final velocity × time
distance 2= 23.856 × 68
distance 2 = 1622.208 m
and
distance for 6.44 sec
distance 3 = ut + 1/2 × at²
distance 3 = 23.856(6.44) - 0.5 (3.70) (6.44)²
distance 3 = 76.90 m
so
total distance = distance 1 + distance 2 + distance 3
total distance = 169.37 + 1622.208 + 76.90
total distance = 1868.478 m
The breaking distance consists of two parts. The first part is the first 0.5 seconds were no breaking occurs. Given values: t time, v₀ initial velocity:
x₁ = v₀*t
The second part occurs after t = 0,5s with the given acceleration: a = - 12 m/s²
were the final velocity is zero, v = 0 and the initial velocity v₀= 16m/s:
v = a*t + v₀ = 0 => v₀ = -a*t => t = v₀/-a
x₂ = 0.5*a*t² = 0.5*v°²/a
The total breaking distance is the sum of the two parts:
x = x₁ + x₂ = v₀* t + 0.5 * v₀² / a = 16 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 16² / 12 = 8 + 10,7 = 18,7
You can use this result to calculate the remaining distance. You can use the last equation to calculate the maximum speed you could have to avoid a collision.
Use x = 39m and solve for v₀.
