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 .

Use the following photoelectric graph to answer the following question:

8090 [49]

Answer:

2.9 E14 Hz

Explanation:

As we know by Einstein's equation that energy incident on the photo sensitive surface will be used by the surface to eject electron out of the surface with some kinetic energy.

This is given by

$E = \phi + KE$

now the threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of the incident photons due to which electrons are ejected out with minimum kinetic energy or least kinetic energy.

So here when KE = 0 in the graph then corresponding to that position the frequency will be given as threshold frequency

so here from graph when KE = 0

$f = 2.9 E14 Hz$

Suppose a plane accelerates from rest for 30 s, achieving a takeoff speed of 80 m/s after traveling a distance of 1200 m down th

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The distance is 300 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 s

Speed = 80 m/s

Distance = 1200 m

Speed of smaller plane = 40 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

$s= ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at62$

Put the value in the equation

$1200=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times(30)^2$

$a=\dfrac{2\times1200}{30\times30}$

$a=2.67\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Put the value in the equation

$40^2=0+2\times2.67\times s$

$s=\dfrac{40^2}{2\times2.67}$

$s=299.62\approx 300\ m$

Hence, The distance is 300 m.

Moving the probe 1 cm towards the non-grounded electrode changes the value the potential from about 0.90 V to about 1.2 V. Expla

svp [43]

Answer:

-30 N/C

Explanation:

Since the potential changes from 0.90 V to 1.2 V when I move the probe 1 cm closer to the non-grounded electrode, the electric field is the gradient between the two points is given by E = -ΔV/Δx where ΔV = change in electric potential and Δx = distance of potential change = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Now ΔV = final potential - initial potential = 1.2 V - 0.90 V = 0.30 V

Since E = -ΔV/Δx

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -0.30 V/0.01 m

E = -30 V/m

Since 1 V/m = 1 N/C.

E = -30 N/C

So, the average electric field is -30 N/C

Road rage is an aggressive driving incident where the driver has:

WARRIOR [948]

I would say that it would be A.) Been insulted. This is because you are angered by someone else. It does not necessarily mean that something has de-escelated, you've lost control of your car, or you've nothing to lose. Hopefully that helps. :)
