Using energy considerations, calculate the average force a 60.0-kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate from 2.00

to 8.00 m/s in a distance of 25.0 m, if he encounters a headwind that exerts an average force of 30.0 N against him.

Answer:

F = 102 N

Explanation:

ASSUMING the track is horizontal to avoid gravity potential energy considerations.

The work of the applied force must overcome friction work and increase the kinetic energy of the runner

F(d) = Ff(d) + ½m(v² - u²)

F = Ff + m(v² - u²) / 2d

F = 30.0 + 60.0(8.00² - 2.00²) / (2(25.0))

F = 102 N

The object is called a meteor because it is producing Streak of light  and has not yet struck earth.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A meteoroid is a celestial object which is very smaller than an asteroid. These objects are produced as a collision impact from mars or moon and float freely in space without any specific orbit. When they come inside the Earth's gravitational field, they are attracted by the Earth's gravity to Earth's crust. These objects in Earth's atmosphere are called meteors. As they travel through Earth's atmosphere, they do face a huge friction from Earth's atmosphere which let them burn and that is visible as the tail of the meteor.

Most of them are so small that they are burnt away in the atmosphere. But some are bigger and they reach the Earth's surface and are called as meteorites.

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.

Earth's gravity acts upon objects with a steady force of __________.
luda_lava [24]
None of the choices is a force. 'a' and 'b' are speeds. 'C' and 'd' are accelerations. ... The steady force of gravity is 9.8 newtons PER KILOGRAM of mass. ... The question is written by someonewho very much wants to discourage anyone interested in Physics.
