The runners have just started a race. They started at rest and are getting faster.

Chemistry

A.  Acceleration is positive and speed is increasing.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The motion performed by a runner is part of a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration.

Equation used  

\tt \boxed{\bold{v_f=v_i+at}}  

vf = final velocity  

vi = vo = initial velocity  

When a runner moves from rest, his speed will increase from being at rest (vi=0) and then move with a constant acceleration(a), and as soon as he crosses the finish line his acceleration will decrease (experience a deceleration ⇒a=- ) and decrease his speed until it finally stops

Velocity and speed are different because velocity itself is a vector quantity that takes into account direction and displacement, while speed is a scalar quantity (only distance).

So the speed does not take positive or negative values because it involves direction, while acceleration takes positive and negative values (deceleration) because it takes direction.

The force of 75 N must overcome in order to get the truck to start moving. What type of friction must be overcome?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Static Friction.

Explanation:

Friction is the force that resists the relative motion between the surfaces sliding against each other.

Static friction is friction between objects that are not in relative motion with each other.

The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as  μs,

Static friction arises due to surface roughness( relative term)

The static friction force can be overcome by an applied  maximum force

F max =  μs x N

N= normal force

Any force smaller than F max attempting to slide one surface over the other is opposed by a frictional force of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Any force larger than F max overcomes the force of static friction and causes sliding to occur.

This maximum force is sometimes called the limiting value also. Here that value is 75 N.
