A certain sprinter has a top speed of 11.3 m/s. If the sprinter starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate, he is able

to reach his top speed in a distance of 12.8 m. He is then able to maintain his top speed for the remainder of a 100 m race. (a) What is his time for the 100 m race? (b) In order to improve his time, the sprinter tries to decrease the distance required for him to reach
h his top speed. What must this distance be if he is to achieve a time of 9.75 s for the race?

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 0

final velocity v = 11.3 m /s

distance covered s = 12.8 m

v² = u² + 2 a s

11.3² = 0 + 2 x a x 12.8

a = 4.99 m /s²

again ,

v = u + a t

11.3 = 0 + 4.99 t

t = 2.26 s .

Rest of the sprint will be covered with uniform velocity .

Distance covered = 100 - 12.8 = 87.2 m

speed = 11.3 m /s

time taken = 87.2 / 11.3 = 7.7 s

Total time of 100 m sprint = 7.7 + 2.26 = 9.96 m .

b )

Let the time taken to reach the top speed be t .

acceleration a = 11.3 / t

distance covered s = 1/2 a t²

= .5 x (11.3 / t) x t²

= 5.65 t

Rest of the distance = 100 - 5.65 t

time taken to cover rest of the distance = (100 - 5.65 t ) / 11.3

Total time =  (100 - 5.65 t  / 11.3 ) + t = 9.75

100 - 5.65 t + 11.3 t = 11.3 x 9.75

100 + 5.65 t = 110.175

5.65 t = 10.175

t = 1.8

acceleration a = 11.3 / t

= 11.3 / 1.8

= 6.278 m /s²

distance covered in 1.8 s

s = 1/2 a t²

= .5 x 6.278 x 1.8²

= 10.17 m .

Which has zero acceleration?
Llana [10]

At rest, when travelling at a constant speed, and when in mechanical equilibrium, there is no acceleration and answer choice D is correct.

<h3>How would you define acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration describes the rate at which a driving object's velocity changes over time. They are accelerations and vector quantities. The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Depending on whether an object is moving faster, slower, or in a different direction, its velocity may change. Examples of acceleration include a falling apple, the moon orbiting the earth, and a car that has stopped at a stop sign. The car is positively accelerating if the speed is increasing. As the car slows down, its speed decreases. A decline in speed is referred to as negative acceleration. In both situations, the car is traveling ahead, yet one has a positive acceleration and the other a negative one.

What is defined as a material resistance to the transmission of light waves flashcards?
seraphim [82]
This property is called "Opacity".

The question is worded in a difficult way. A more easily understood wording of this question would be:

"<em>What is the name of the property of a material that prevents light passing through?"</em>

9. In the sun devil football game, a receiver, who is standing still, has caught a pass from the quarterback. Before he can move
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The mass of the receiver is 68.862 kg

Explanation:

Given;

let mass of the receiver be "m₁"

initial velocity of the receiver, u₁ = 0

mass of the tackler, m₂ =  156 kg

initial velocity of the tackler, u₂ = 6.89 m/s

their final velocity, v = 4.78 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

(m₁ x 0) + (156 x 6.89) = 4.78(m₁ + 156)

0 + 1074.84 = 4.78 (m₁ + 156)

1074.84 = 4.78 (m₁ + 156)

m₁ + 156 = 1074.84 / 4.78

m₁ + 156 = 224.862

m₁ = 224.862 - 156

m₁ = 68.862 kg

Therefore, the mass of the receiver is 68.862 kg
