. (a) 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 "coast

ed" across 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) The acceleration of Usain Bolt was 2.98 m/s².

His maximum speed was (v = 2.98 m/s² · 3.00 s) 8.94 m/s.

b) The acceleration was 3.21 m/s² and the maximum speed was 9.63 m/s

Explanation:

The equation for the position of Bolt during the first 3 s is as follows:

x = x0 + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x =  position at time t

a = acceleration

t = time

x0 = initial position

After that time, the position is:

x = x0 + v · t

Where "v" is the velocity

During the acceleration, the velocity is:

v = a · t

The maximum speed reached by Bolt is then:

v = a · 3.00 s

The distance traveled during the first 3 seconds is:

x = x0 + 1/2 · a · t²   (x0 = 0)

x = 1/2 · a · (3.00 s)²

x = 4.50 s² · a

Then, in the equation of the position after the first 3 s, we can replace the initial position for the position traveled during the first 3 s and the velocity for the velocity reached in those 3 s.

x = x0 + v · t

x0 = 4.50 s² · a

v = a · 3.00 s

Then:

x = 4.50 s² · a + 3.00 s · a ·t  

At t = 9.69 s, x = 100 m. Then:

100 m =  4.50 s² · a + 3.00 s · a · 9.69 s

100 m = 33.6 s² · a

100 m / 33.6 s² = a

a = 2.98 m/s²

The acceleration of Usain Bolt was 2.98 m/s².

His maximum speed was (v = 2.98 m/s² · 3.00 s) 8.94 m/s.

b) The calculations are the same only that in the final step we have to use x = 200 m instead of 100 m and t = 19.30 s instead of 9.69 s:

200 m =  4.50 s² · a + 3.00 s · a · 19.30 s

200 m = 62.4 s² · a

200 m / 62.4 s² = a

a = 3.21 m/s²

v = 3.21 m/s² · 3.00 s = 9.63 m/s

The acceleration was 3.21 m/s² and the maximum speed was 9.63 m/s

In the diagram, q1= +8.0 C, q2= +3.5 C, and q3 = -2.5 C. q1 to q2 is 0.10 m, q2 to q3 is 0.15 m. What is the net force on q2? La
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

f(t) =  28,7 [N]

Explanation: IMPORTANT NOTE: IN PROBLEM STATEMENT CHARGES ARE IN C (COULOMBS) AND IN THE DIAGRAM IN μC. WE ASSUME CHARGES ARE IN μC.

The net force on +q₂  is the sum of the force of +q₁  on +q₂ ( is a repulsion force since charges of equal sign repel each other ) and the force of -q₃ on +q₂ ( is an attraction force, opposite sign charges attract each other)

The two forces have the same direction to the right of charge q₂, we have to add them

Then

f(t) = f₁₂ + f₃₂

f₁₂ = K * ( q₁*q₂ ) / (0,1)²

q₁  = + 8 μC     then   q₁ = 8*10⁻⁶ C

q₂ =  + 3,5 μC  then  q₂ = 3,5 *10⁻⁶ C

K = 9*10⁹  [ N*m² /C²]

f₁₂ = 9*10⁹ * 8*3,5*10⁻¹²/ 1*10⁻²   [ N*m² /C²]* C*C/m²

f₁₂ = 252*10⁻¹ [N]

f₁₂ = 25,2 [N]

f₃₂ =  9*10⁹*3,5*10⁻⁶*2,5*10⁻⁶ /(0,15)²

f₃₂ =  78,75*10⁻³/ 2,25*10⁻²

f₃₂ =  35 *10⁻¹

f₃₂ =  3,5 [N]

f(t) =  28,7 [N]
