Question

a sprinter starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.16 ms ^-2 over a distance of 50.0 meters . How fast is the athlete traveling at the end of the 50.0 meters?

Answer 1

Answer:

Final velocity v = 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Acceleration a = 0.16 m/s²

Distance s = 50 m

Find:

Final velocity v

Computation:

Using; v² = u² + 2as

v² = (0)² + 2(0.16)(50)

v² = 16 m/s

v = 4 m/s

Final velocity v = 4 m/s
