Answer:
(a) Speed = 6.875 m/s
(b) Kinetic Energy = 1.70 kJ
(c) Average power = 1.06 kW
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
d = 5.5 m
t = 1.6 s
W = 706 N
Part (a)
Using the equation of motion with the assumption of zero initial speed:


The speed of the sprinter then become:

Part (b)
Convert the weight of the sprinter to mass:



KE (Kinetic Energy) can then be calculated as:



Part (c)
The change of the kinetic energy is equivalent to the work done by the sprinter. The average power P is the rate of the work done and can be calculated as



we can take a peek at two of those lines hmmm say y = 5x + 3 and y = 5x + 7.
let's notice, those two equations for those lines are in slope-intercept form, so let's solve the system.
since y = y then
5x + 3 = 5x + 7
3 = 7 what the?
well, notice, both lines have the same slope of 5, but different y-intercept, one has it at y = 3 and the other at y = 7, what does that mean?
it means that both lines are parallel to each other, one may well be above the other, but both are parallel, and since a solution to the system is where their graphs intersect, well, parallel lines never touch, so a system with two parallel lines has no solutions.
In a triangle, the measure of an angle is in the same order of size as the length of the opposite side. The smallest angle is opposite the shortest side. The largest angle is opposite the longest side. The middle-sized angle is opposite the middle-sized side.
Also, in a triangle, the sum of the measures of the interior angles is 180.
We can now calculate the measures of the three angles by writing and solving an equation.
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180
9x - 7 + 7x - 9 + 28 - 2x = 180
Collect like terms on the left side.
9x + 7x - 2x - 7 - 9 + 28 = 180
14x + 12 = 180
Subtract 12 from both sides.
14x = 168
x = 12
Now that we know x, we can find the measure of each angle.
m<A = 9x - 7 = 9(12) - 7 = 108 - 7 = 101
m<B = 7x - 9 = 7(12) - 9 = 84 - 9 = 75
m<C = 28 - 2x = 28 - 2(12) = 28 - 24 = 4
(Quick check: Add the angles measures: 101 + 75 + 4 = 180. The sum is 180 as it should be.)
Now that we know the angle measures, the opposite sides are in the same order of size.
AB < AC < BC
The sides are, in increasing order of length:
AB, AC, BC
