. (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

Please Help On These 2 Questions!!!!! I severely need help!!!!!!
lys-0071 [83]
3. In a uniform electric field, the equation for the magnitude of the magnetic field is E=(V/d). V= voltage d= distance. If the magnetic field magnitude is constant , as stated in your problem, then the voltage must stay the same otherwise the value of "E" would change". And the problem already told us the "E" is uniform and so, not changing. Does that make sense?

4a. If the magnetic field lines are equally spaced apart, in other words share the same density. Then we know that the magnitude of the magnetic field is unchanging. This is because the density of of the magnetic field lines(how many are in a certain area) is related to the magnitude being expressed by the electric field. Greater magnitude is expressed by the presence of more lines (higher line density) 

4b. The electric potential is measured in Volts(V) and is uniform along  the same equipotential line. What is an equipotential line(gray)? It is a line drawn perpendicular(forms a right angle with) to the magnetic field lines(black) to show the changes in electric potential. One space where electric potential will always be the same because it will always be equal to 0 Volts is exactly in between a positive and negative charges of equal charge value I have pointed to this line with a purple arrow in my picture.

I really hope this makes sense to you and that my pictures help! :)

A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) t = 20 [s]

b) Can't land

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations, it is of great importance to note that when the plane lands it slows down until it reaches rest, ie the final speed will be zero.

a)

v_{f}=v_{i}-(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the aircraft slows down as it stops.

0 = 100 - 5*t

5*t = 100

t = 20 [s]

b)

Now we can find the distance using the following kinematics equation.

x -x_{o}=(v_{o}*t)+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}

x - xo = distance [m]

x -xo = (0*20) + (0.5*5*20^2)

x - xo =  1000 [m]

1000 [m] = 1 [km]

And the runaway is 0.8 [km], therefore the jetplane needs 1 [km] to land. So the jetpalne can't land
