A sprinter who weighs 706 N runs the first 5.5 m of a race in 1.6 s, starting from rest and accelerating uniformly. What are the

sprinter's (a) speed and (b) kinetic energy at the end of the 1.6 s? (c) What average power does the sprinter generate during the 1.6 s interval?

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:

d = \frac{1}{2} ({v-0})t

5.5= \frac{1}{2} (1.6v)

The speed of the sprinter then become:

v = 6.875 m/s

Part (b)

Convert the weight of the sprinter to mass:

m = \frac{w}{g}

m = \frac{706}{9.8}

m = 72 kg

KE (Kinetic Energy) can then be calculated as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

KE = \frac{1}{2} (72)(6.875)^{2}

KE = 1701.56 J = 1.70 kJ

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

P = \frac{KE}{t} \\\

P = \frac{1701.56}{1.6}

P = 1063.48 W = 1.06 kW

What is the factored form of 11x-x^2=0
Aleks [24]

Answer: x(11-x)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation 11x-x^2=0, you need to factor it.

In order to find the form asked of the given equation, you need to factor out the common factor of the terms.

You can observe that the common factor of the terms of the equation is: x

Now, knowing this, you must factor out x. Then you get the following form:

x(11-x)=0

Therefore, the factored fom of the equation  11x-x^2=0 is:

 x(11-x)=0

Solve this linear equation <br> 2(x+6)&lt;3x+8
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x > 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x + 6) < 3x + 8 ← distribute left side

2x + 12 < 3x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- x + 12 < 8 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

- x < - 4

Multiply both sides by - 1, reversing the symbol as a result of multiplying by a negative quantity.

x > 4

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 2 feet. Which of the following should be done first in order to find the vol
zvonat [6]
The significant components, the radius and the height, are in inches and feet respectively, you'd need to convert them both to the same unit, whichever it may be, meters or feet or inches or millimeters, so long is the same, then use the volume of a cylinder equation to get it.
