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

A right triangle is formed by the 70.9 m walked east and 31.9 m walked south.
The legs of this right triangle are 70.9 and 31.9.
The shortest distance between two points is a straaight line. Therefore the hypotenuse of this triangle is going to be that shortest distance.
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of this triangle.
a^2+b^2=c^2\\70.9^2+31.9^2=c^2\\5026.81+1017.61=c^2\\6044.42=c^2\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}

c=\sqrt{6044.42}\approx\boxed{77.7458681}\ (decimal\ form)\\\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}=\sqrt{\frac{604442}{100}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{604442}}{10}}\ (exact\ form)

As for the second part of the question, we want to find the angle formed by the hypotenuse and the 31.9 walked east.
We could use any of the three trigonometric ratios here since we know all 3 sides.
sine = opposite / hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
tangent = opposite / adjacent
I am going to use tangent, because then I won't have to deal with the hypotenuse and so the answer will be more accurate.

If you haven't already drawn yourself a diagram, now is a good time to.
The side opposite our angle is the 31.9, and the adjacent is 70.9.
Therefore, \tan(m\angle)=\frac{31.9}{70.9}.

We can use inverse trig ratios here to find the measure of our angle.
\tan^{-1}(\tan(m\angle))=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\\\\m\angle=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\approx\boxed{24.2243851\°\ or\ 0.422795279\ rad}

What is the purpose of each of the components (each shown with leader and line) of the circuit shown is the diagram?
NemiM [27]

The wires is what is needed to put together the whole thing, kinda like glue when you're gluing a piece of paper on it.

Anyways, the battery is the main source and main energy per say.

That energy that comes from the battery, thanks to the wires, it can transfer that said energy to both the switch and light bulb.

And as you flick the switch, it depends of how you put it together, there's two options, turning the light bulb on or turning it off.

Though it doesn't mean that since the light bulb is connected to the battery makes the bulb turn on no matter what since the switch can cancel the main source's energy.

Help with either I don’t understand this I know W=f*d but don’t get how it applies here
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

5) Displacement = +3.125 m

Displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) Force = -53.89 N

Force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

Explanation:

5) We are given;

Force; F = 160 N.

Workdone; W = +500 J

Now, formula for workdone is;

W = Force × displacement

Thus, displacement = Work/force

Displacement = 500/160

Displacement = +3.125 m

Thus, displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.

6) We are given;

Displacement; d = 18 m.

Workdone; W = -970 J

Like in the first answer above,

Workdone = Force × Displacement

Thus;

Force = Workdone/Displacement

Force = -970/18

Force = -53.89 N

Since force is negative and displacement is positive, it means force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.

A 3. 5-a current is maintained in a simple circuit with a total resistance of 1500 ω. What net charge passes through any point i
melamori03 [73]

Electric Current:

Electric current is the flow of charge through a given circuit per unit time. Electric current is one of the components needed to calculate the electric power that a device needs to operate and do work. Electric current is measured in amperes (A), which is equal to:

            1A = 1 C/ s

Recall that the coulomb (C) is the unit for charge while the second (s) is the unit for time

Given: I = 3.5

A is the current

Δt =30 s is the time interval

                     A =ΔQ/ΔT

Net charge = 100C

Electricity is produced when an electric current runs through a circuit.

How does electric current work?

A current of electricity is a steady flow of electrons. When electrons move from one place to another, round a circuit, they carry electrical energy from place to place like marching ants carrying leaves. Instead of carrying leaves, electrons carry a tiny amount of electric charge.
