Answer:

(a)  the runner's kinetic energy at the given instant is 308 J

(b)  the kinetic energy increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the runner, m = 64.1 kg

speed of the runner, u = 3.10 m/s

(a) the kinetic energy of the runner at this instant is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2}  \times 64.1 \times 3.1^2\\\\K.E_i = 308 \ J

(b) when the runner doubles his speed, his final kinetic energy is calculated as;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} mu_f^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} m(2u)^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times 64.1 \ \times (2\times 3.1)^2\\\\K.E_f = 1232 \ J

the change in the kinetic energy is calculated as;

\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_i} = \frac{1232}{308} =4

Thus, the kinetic energy increased by a factor of 4.

What tool is used to determine the mass of an object?
melisa1 [442]
A Beam balance (or Beam scale) is a device to measure weight or mass. These are also known as mass scales, weight scales, mass balances, weight balances, or simply scales, balances, or balance scales. You can also use a graduated cylinder and determine the water displaced and figure out the mass of an object this way!

- if this answer is what you were looking for, don’t forget to heart and maybe if you really liked it brainliest :)

What occurs when waves overlap
IrinaK [193]
If you are talking about ocean waves crashing into each other, they would probably mostly cancel out with just a bit of motion left over. If you are talking about things like frequency and amplitude, overlapping waves would combine and amplify or suppress each other, depending on their direction, position, frequency and amplitude. If the two waves complement each other, they amplify; if they conflict with each other, they are suppressed.

Frequency is measured in units called?
irina1246 [14]
The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.
