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.

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764

A man 2 m tall walks horizontally at a constant rate of 1 m/s toward the base of a tower 23 m tall. When the man is 10 m from th

Answer:

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given that

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= -1\ m/s$

From the diagram

$tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{x}$

By differentiating with time t

$sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

When x= 10 m

$tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{10}$

θ = 64.53°

Now by putting the value in equation

$sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$sec^264.53^{\circ} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{10^2}\times (-1)$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s$

Therefore rate of change in the angle is 0.038\ rad/s

Joey is riding in an elevator which is accelerating upwards at 2.0 m/s2. The elevator weighs 300.0 kg, and Joey weighs 60.0 kg.

vodka [1.7K]

4200 N is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.
