On a 150 m straight sprint, a cyclist accelerates from rest for 4.5 s at 3.8 m/s2. How long will it take her to complete the 150

m track, assuming she maintains her speed for the remaining part of the track?

Answer:

It takes 6.52 s to complete the 150 m track.

Explanation:

Let's find the position of the cyclist during the acceleration.

x_{1}=v_{0}t+0.5at^{2}

x_{1}=0.5(3.8)(4.5)^{2}

x_{1}=38.48\: m

Now, the final speed at this distance will be:

v_{f}=v_{0}+at

v_{f}=3.8*4.5

v_{f}=17.1\: m/s

Now, we know that x(tot) = 150 m, the remaining part will be:

x_{2}=150-38.48=111.5\: m

Therefore, the time is:

t=\frac{x_{2}}{V_{f}}

t=\frac{111.5}{17.1}

t=6.52\: s

I hope it helps you!

Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.
Sholpan [36]
The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth
Natali [406]
More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.

Coal and other fossil fuels are considered to be "nonrenewable" sources of energy. How does the use of nonrenewable fuels affect
nignag [31]

Answer: D Although the total energy remains constant, nonrenewable fuels convert chemical energy into forms that are difficult or impossible to use again.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.
