An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then

maintains that velocity for the remainder of the 100 m dash, what will be his time (in s) for the race?

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

v=1.76t

The velocity is, by definition: v=\frac{dx}{dt}, so

dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}.

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s

At this time the velocity is: v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is 6.2225\frac{m}{s}, so:

t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in
insens350 [35]

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

A car is traveling with a constant speed when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, giving the 14) car a deceleration of 3.50
sergij07 [2.7K]
To be able to determine the original speed of the car, we use kinematic equations to relate the acceleration, distance and the original speed of the car moving. 

First, we manipulate the one of the kinematic equations
 
v^2 = v0^2 + 2 (a) (x)  where v = 0 since the car stopped

Writing the equation in such a way that the initial velocity or v0 is written on one side of the equation,

<span>we get v0 = sqrt (2(a)(x))

Substituting the known values,

v0 = sqrt(2(3.50)(30.0))
v0 = 14.49 m/s 
</span>
Therefore, before stopping the car the original speed of the car would be 14.49 m/s

A passenger train travels 392 mi in the same time that it takes a freight train to travel 322 mi. If the passenger train travels
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

distance traveled by  Passenger train is d_1=392\ mi

distance traveled by  Freight train is d_2=322\ mi

Both take same time to travel

suppose speed of freight train is x mph

so speed of passenger train is 20+x mph

we know time=\frac{distance}{speed}

t=\frac{392}{20+x}=\frac{322}{x}

392x=322x+322\times 20

70x=322\times 20

x=92\ mph

speed of passenger train x+20=112\ mph
