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

In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.0 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (potential, PE, + kinetic, KE) of the athlete must be conserved.

Therefore, we can write:

KE_i+PE_i =KE_f+PE_f

or

\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where:

m is the mass of the athlete

u is the initial speed of the athlete (at the bottom)

0 is the initial potential energy of the athlete (at the bottom)

v = 0.80 m/s is the final speed of the athlete (at the top)

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.80 m is the final height of the athlete (at the top)

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial speed at which the athlete must jump:

u=\sqrt{v^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0.80^2+2(9.8)(1.80)}=6.0 m/s

<span>The acceleration of the bullet is called ACTION.

</span>Formally stated, Newton's third law<span> is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
