Question

A sprinter starts from rest and accelerates to 10. m/sec in a time interval of 1.0 seconds, Calculate the runner's acceleration

Answer 1

The runner's acceleration during this time interval is 10 $m/s^2$

Given the following data:

• Initial velocity, U = 0 m/s (since the sprinter is starting from rest).

• Final velocity, V = 10.0 m/s

• Time, t = 1.0 seconds.

To calculate the runner's acceleration during this time interval, we would use the first equation of motion;

Mathematically, the first equation of motion is calculated by using the formula;

$V = U + at$

Where:

• a is the acceleration.

• V is the final velocity.

• U is the initial velocity.

• t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$10 = 0 + a(1)\\\\10 = a$

Therefore, the runner's acceleration during this time interval is 10 $m/s^2$
