Explanation:
a)
The net force acting on Bolt during the acceleration phase can be written using Newton's second law of motion:
where
m is Bolt's mass
a is the acceleration
In the first 0.890 s of motion, we have
m = 94.0 kg (Bolt's mass)
(acceleration)
So, the net force is
And according to Newton's third law of motion, this force is equivalent to the force exerted by Bolt on the ground (because they form an action-reaction pair).
b)
Since Bolt's motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can find his final speed by using the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final speed
u is the initial speed
a is the acceleration
t is the time
In the first phase of Bolt's race we have:
u = 0 m/s (he starts from rest)
(acceleration)
t = 0.890 s (duration of the first phase)
Solving for v,
c)
First of all, we can calculate the work done by Bolt to accelerate to a speed of
v = 8.5 m/s
According to the work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy, so
where
m = 94.0 kg is Bolt's mass
v = 8.5 m/s is Bolt's final speed after the first phase
is the initial kinetic energy
So the work done is
The power expended is given by
where
t = 0.890 s is the time elapsed
Substituting,
d)
First of all, we need to find what is the average force exerted by Bolt during the remaining 8.69 s of motion.
In the first 0.890 s, the force exerted was
We know that the average force for the whole race is
Which can be rewritten as
And solving for , we find the average force exerted by Bolt on the ground during the second phase:
The net force exerted by Bolt during the second phase can be written as
(1)
where D is the air drag.
The net force can also be rewritten as
where
is the acceleration in the second phase, with
u = 8.5 m/s is the initial speed
v = 12.4 m/s is the final speed
t = 8.69 t is the time elapsed
Substituting,
So we can now find the average drag force from (1):
So the increase in Bolt's internal energy is just equal to the work done by the drag force, so:
where
d is Bolt's displacement in the second part, which can be found by using suvat equation:
And so,
e)
The power that Bolt must expend just to voercome the drag force is given by
where
is the increase in internal energy due to the air drag
t is the time elapsed
Here we have:
t = 8.69 s is the time elapsed
Substituting,
And we see that it is about twice larger than the power calculated in part c.
