Explanation:
Speed of the marathon runner, v = 9.51 mi/hr
Distance covered by the runner, d = 26.220 mile
Let t is the time taken by the marathon runner. We know that the speed of the runner is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Mathematically, it is given by :
t = 2.75 hours
Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes
t = 165 minutes
Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds
t = 9900 seconds
Hence, this is the required solution.
The acceleration of the car is 0.8049.It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.
<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>
In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:
(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and
(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.
Calculations:
40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s
80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s
Time taken
v-u=at
22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t
t=13.802s
