A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mar

k. He then maintains this speed for the next 88 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 32 km/h at the finish line. Determine the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value occur

Answer:

0.705 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The sprinter accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a top speed of 35 km/h at the 67-m mark.

Using newton's law of motion:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = initial velocity = 0 km/h,  s = distance = 67 m

9.72² = 0² + 2a(67)

134a = 94.484

a = 0.705 m/s²

b) The sprinter maintains this speed of 35 km/h for the next 88 meters. Therefore:

v = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, s = 88 m

v² = u² + 2as

9.72² = 9.72² + 2a(88)

176a = 9.72² - 9.72²

a = 0

c) During the last distance, the speed slows down from 35 km/h to 32 km/h.

u = 35 km/h = 9.72 m/s, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s, s = 200 - (67 + 88) = 45 m

v² = u² + 2as

8.89² = 9.72² + 2a(45)

90a = 8.89² - 9.72²

90a = -15.4463

a = -0.1716 m/s²

The maximum acceleration is 0.705 m/s² which is from 0 to 67 m mark.

Calculate the speed of a 500.0 kilogram car that possesses 400,000 joules of kinetic energy.
lozanna [386]

Answer: 40m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

speed of car (v) = ?

Mass of car (m) = 500.0 kilogram

Kinetic energy (KE) = 400,000 joules

Recall that kinetic energy is possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass and speed by which the object moves

i.e Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

400,000J = 1/2 x 500.0kg x v²

400,000J = 250.0kg x v²

v² = 400,000J / 250.0kg

v² = 1600

Find the square root of v²

v = √1600

v = 40m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 40m/s

If you throw a ball up into the air and it reaches its original height after 6 seconds, calculate how high above its original po
mixer [17]

Explanation:

Assuming that there is no air resistance, the given time means that the ball reached its maximum height 3 seconds after throwing it upwards so we can solve its

maximum height by solving for v_{0y} first:

v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow v_{0y} = gt

v_{0y} = (9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(3\:\text{s}) = 29.4\:\text{m/s}

Now that we know v_{0y}, we can now solve for y_{max}:

y_{max} = v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:=(29.4\:\text{m/s})(3\:\text{s}) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(3\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:=44.1\:\text{m}

kozerog [31]
For Art class, Social Studies class, English class, American History class,
or Photography class, Shani has done an incredible amount of work. 
She'll tell her parents all about it at dinner, and her arms will really ache
when she gets up tomorrow morning.

But it's a different story in Physics class.  In Physics, there is a formal definition
for "work".  (That's so it can be measured, and numerically compared to all forms
of energy.) 

The scientific definition of work is 

                           (force exerted) times (distance moved) .

With this definition, if the force doesn't move through a distance,
then the work done is zero. 

Anything you do without moving, even if it's holding a small car over
your head for an hour while your muscles tremble and sweat pours
down, represents no "work" in the scientific sense.
