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.

The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = 1.50 m/s^2

now we know that

F = ma

F = 70(1.50) = 105 N

now for the space station will be same as above force

F = ma

105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)

a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}

a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of probe m = 474 Kg

initial speed u = 275 m /s

force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N

displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m

A )

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u²  , m is mass of probe.

= .5 x 474 x 275²

= 17923125 J  

B )

work done by engine

= force x displacement

= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹

= 13.55 x 10⁷ J  

C ) Final kinetic energy

= Initial K E + work done by force on it

= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷

= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷

= 15.34 x 10⁷ J

D ) If v be its velocity

1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

1/2 x 474 x v² =  15.34 x 10⁷

v² = 64.72 x 10⁴

v = 8.04 x 10² m /s

= 804 m /s
