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 .

A long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x= - 2.0 cm . A second, parallel wir
mario62 [17]

Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b.  11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm

if you use the compound pulley, you will need to pull twice the distance but with less force. the force you need is equal to one
algol13

Answer:

F= 25/2 = 12.5N

Explanation:

When you use a compound pulley the force required depends on the mechanical advantage of the compound pulley. This is known as rate of loss of distance or the ratio of the force to the load.

M.A = Effort distance /Load distance. OR M.A = Load/Effort

Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.
Damm [24]
Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)
