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 .

If a star collapses to a tenth its size, gravitation at its surface increases by?
tino4ka555 [31]

If a star collapses to a tenth its size, gravitation at its surface increases by 100 times as much.

The contraction of an astronomical object caused by its own gravity, which tends to pull stuff inward toward the center of gravity, is known as gravitational collapse. A cloud of interstellar matter gradually collapses under the influence of gravity to form a star. The temperature rises as a result of the compression brought on by the collapse until thermonuclear fusion takes place in the star's core. At this point, the collapse gradually comes to an end as the outward heat pressure equalizes the gravitational forces. Following that, the star is in a condition of dynamic equilibrium. A star will repeatedly collapse once all of its energy sources have been used up until it reaches a new equilibrium condition.

an astronaut on an eva has wandered dangerously far away from the shuttle. she has also exhausted all the fuel in her jet pack.
V125BC [204]

The conservation of the momentum allows to find the result of how the astronaut can return to the spacecraft is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

The momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity of the body, for isolated systems the momentum  is conserved. If we define the system as consisting of the astronaut and the evo propellant, this system is isolated and the internal forces become zero. Let's find the moment in two moments.

Initial instant. Astronaut and thrust together.

        p₀ = 0

Final moment. The astronaut now the thruster in the opposite direction of the ship.

       m_f = m v + M v '

where m is propellant mass and M the astronaut mass.

As the moment is preserved.

       0 = m v + M v ’

      v ’= - \frac{m}{M} \ v  

We can see that the astronaut's speed is in the opposite direction to the propeller, that is, in the direction of the ship.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by the relationship between the masses.

In conclusion, using the conservation of the momentun we can find the result of how the astronaut can return to the ship is:

  • Throwing the thruster away from the ship.

The law of reflection establishes a definite relationship between the angle of incidence of a light ray striking the boundary be
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light hits the boundary between two media and it is reflected back into the first medium.

In such a situation, we call:

- angle of incidence: it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the surface

- angle of reflection: it is the angle between the direction of the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

There is a precise relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. In fact, the Law of Reflection states that:

- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie within the same plane

- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
