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.

Suppose that instead of being inclined to Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moonâs orbit was in the same plane as Earthâs orbit
ycow [4]

Answer:

c) 12

Explanation:

A Solar eclipse occurs when The Sun, The Earth and The Moon comes in a straight line with the Moon being in between the Earth and the Sun. At this point the Moon appears to block the Sun and Moon's shadow falls on Earth. This would occur only on the day of the New Moon.

If the Moon's orbit was in the same plane as that of the Earth's orbit. Every new Moon, there would be a Solar Eclipse. The Lunar cycle is of 29.5 Days which means there will be one new Moon every month. So there will be 12 Solar Eclipses every year.

Currently, the orbit of the Moon is tilted at an angle of 5° thus we don't see that many Solar eclipses. Maximum of 5 solar eclipses can occur in an year.

What building materials do you believe would work well to build a home in that area? Explain why you chose these materials.
Luden [163]
Depends on what the area is. If it’s a rural place, Wood is cheep & easy to build. If there’s a lot of corrosion, strong weather/hurricane, bricks.

A. If a T-Rex runs 20 meters in 4 seconds, what is it’s average speed?
mariarad [96]

5m/s

100m

Explanation:

Average speed is sum of distance distance traveled in a given time by a body.

 Average speed= \frac{total distance covered}{time taken}

Distance = 20m

time = 4s

  Average speed = \frac{20}{4} = 5m/s

For the spaceship;

   Distance covered = speed x time

Speed = 50m/s

time = 2s

 Distance covered = 50 x 2 = 100m
