A world record was set for the men’s 100-m dash in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing by Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Bolt "coasted" ac

ross the finish line with a time of 9.69 s. If we assume that Bolt accelerated for 3.00 s to reach his maximum speed, and maintained that speed for the rest of the race, calculate his maximum speed and his acceleration. (b) During the same Olympics, Bolt also set the world record in the 200-m dash with a time of 19.30 s. Using the same assumptions as for the 100-m dash, what was his maximum speed for this race?

Answer:

a) v = 12.21m/s

a = 4.07 m/s²

b)v = 11.24m/s

a =  3.75 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Dividing the moviment into two parts:

I - With acceleration

v = v₀ + at

s = s₀ + v₀t + at²/2

  • v₀ = 0
  • s₀ = 0
  • a = ?
  • v = ?
  • t = 3s
  • s = x

v = v₀ + at

v = 3a ⇒ a = v/3

s = s₀ + v₀t + at²/2

x = v/3.3²/2

x = 3v/2

II - Uniform

s = s₀ + vt

s = 100

s₀ = x

v = v

t = 9.69 - 3 = 6.69s

s = s₀ + vt

100 = x + v*6.69

100 = x + 6.69v

As x = 3v/2

100 = 3v/2 + 6.69v

100 = 1.5v + 6.69v

100 = 8.19v

v = 12.21m/s

a = v/3 = 4.07 m/s²

b) Dividing the moviment into two parts:

I - With acceleration

v = v₀ + at

s = s₀ + v₀t + at²/2

  • v₀ = 0
  • s₀ = 0
  • a = ?
  • v = ?
  • t = 3s
  • s = x

v = v₀ + at

v = 3a ⇒ a = v/3

s = s₀ + v₀t + at²/2

x = v/3.3²/2

x = 3v/2

II - Uniform

s = s₀ + vt

s = 200

s₀ = x

v = v

t = 19.30 - 3 = 16.30s

s = s₀ + vt

200 = x + v*16.3

100 = x + 16.3v

As x = 3v/2

200 = 3v/2 + 16.3v

200 = 1.5v + 16.3v

200 = 17.8v

v = 11.24m/s

a = v/3 = 3.75 m/s²

165 calories are from sugar and 250 are in the candy bar, what percent of calories are just from sugar
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

66%

Step-by-step explanation:

The method I use is putting 0/100 and 165/250 side by side. You multiply 100×165 and then divide that by 250.

So 16,500 ÷ 250 = 66

Which statement allows for us to conclude that line M and line N are parallel?
Drupady [299]

if ∡3 is a supplementary angle with ∡5, namely they both add up to 180°, then that means that the corresponding angles of ∡1 = ∡5, and ∡3 = ∡7, which means the lines crossing those angles are parallel.
