Question:

A 63.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race?

Answer:

Time for the race will be t = 9.26 s

Explanation:

Given data:

As the sprinter starts the race so initial velocity = v₁ = 0

Distance = s₁ = 20 m

Acceleration = a = 4.20 ms⁻²

Distance = s₂ = 100 m

We first need to find the final velocity (v₂) of sprinter at the end of the first 20 meters.

Using 3rd equation of motion

(v₂)² - (v₁)² = 2as₁ = 2(4.2)(20)

v₂ = 12.96 ms⁻¹

Time for 20 m distance = t₁ = (v₂ - v ₁)/a

t₁ = 12.96/4.2 = 3.09 s

He ran the rest of the race at this velocity (12.96 m/s). Since has had already covered 20 meters, he has to cover 80 meters more to complete the 100 meter dash. So the time required to cover the 80 meters will be

Time for 100 m distance = t₂ = s₂/v₂

t₂ = 80/12.96 = 6.17 s

Total time = T = t₁ + t₂ = 3.09 + 6.17 = 9.26 s

T = 9.26 s

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Each time you want to move up the scale, the number is multiplied by 10. The opposite is true when moving down; you must divide by 10.

Why do we see different colors of white light if white light is what is shining down from the sun?
oee [108]

Answer:Hope this helped.

Explanation:

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum. Water droplets in the air can act in a manner similar to that of a prism, separating the colors of sunlight to produce a spectrum known as a rainbow.────(♥)(♥)(♥)────(♥)(♥)(♥) __ ɪƒ ƴσυ'ʀє αʟσηє,

HELP PLEASE !!

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

A new piece of exercise equipment has been added to your gym, and you try it out. To use this machine, you lie horizontal on a m
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

500 N

Explanation:

Since the work done on the spring W = Fx where F = force applied and x = compression length = 0.170 m (since the spring will be compressed its full length when the force is applied)

Since W = 85.0 J and we need to find F,

F = W/x

= 85.0 J/0.170 m

= 500 N

So, the  magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform stationary at the final distance given above is 500 N.
