Question

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m each. If Margy is walking at 1.4 m/s and accelerates at 0.20 m/s2 during one of the running portions, what is her final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance, s=100 m

Initial speed, u=1.4 m/s

Acceleration, $a=0.20 m/s^2$

We have to find the final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Using the formula

$v^2-(1.4)^2=2\times 0.20\times 100$

$v^2-1.96=40$

$v^2=40+1.96$

$v^2=41.96$

$v=\sqrt{41.96}$

$v=6.5 m/s$

Hence, her final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m=6.5 m/s
