A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

Explanation:

Physical Power

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

$W=F.x$

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

$F=m.a$

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

$v_f=v_o+at$

$v_f=at$

Solving for a

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}$

$a=5.4\ m/s^2$

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}$

Since vo=0

$\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}$

$x=2.7\ m$

The force is given by

$F=m.a$

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

$F=2.7m$

Computing the work done by the sprinter

$W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)$

$W=14.58m$

The power is finally computed

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}$

$P=14.58m$

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}$

$a=8.8\ m/s^2$

The distance is

$\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}$

$x=3.8\ m$

The net force is

$F=m(8.8)=8.8m$

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

$W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m$

At last, the output power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m$

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

A pillow with mass of 0.3 kg sits on a bed with a coefficient of static friction of 0.6. What is the maximum force of static fri

lys-0071 [83]

The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.

P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity

P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

Solving for the static friction force (F),
F = P x c

F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.

What os the term for the smallest bit into which chemical substance can be divided and still have the properties of that substan

Ostrovityanka [42]

That's a molecule of the substance. You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original 'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride". That's SALT ! It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.

Young's Modulus refers to changes in the: a- Volume b- Length c- Body layers

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

Stress is defined as force per unit area and strain is defined as proportional deformation in a material.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

$Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}$

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight

l = length of wire

A = area of cross section

$\Delta l$ = change in length

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.
