A scientist would write that number as 1.49 x 10⁸ kilometers .
(Or, if the scientist is in France or the UK, he might write it as 1.49 x 10⁸ kilometres .)
Question:
A 63.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race?
Answer:
Time for the race will be t = 9.26 s
Explanation:
Given data:
As the sprinter starts the race so initial velocity = v₁ = 0
Distance = s₁ = 20 m
Acceleration = a = 4.20 ms⁻²
Distance = s₂ = 100 m
We first need to find the final velocity (v₂) of sprinter at the end of the first 20 meters.
Using 3rd equation of motion
(v₂)² - (v₁)² = 2as₁ = 2(4.2)(20)
v₂ = 12.96 ms⁻¹
Time for 20 m distance = t₁ = (v₂ - v ₁)/a
t₁ = 12.96/4.2 = 3.09 s
He ran the rest of the race at this velocity (12.96 m/s). Since has had already covered 20 meters, he has to cover 80 meters more to complete the 100 meter dash. So the time required to cover the 80 meters will be
Time for 100 m distance = t₂ = s₂/v₂
t₂ = 80/12.96 = 6.17 s
Total time = T = t₁ + t₂ = 3.09 + 6.17 = 9.26 s
T = 9.26 s
Answer:
It becomes an Ion with either positive or negative charge
As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.
The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb
Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.
Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2
Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s
Hence time t= 1.5 s
From equation of kinematics we know that -
S=ut + 0.5at^2 [ here S is the distance travelled]
For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.
Hence S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}
⇒ -S =0-11.025 m
⇒ S= 11.025 m
=11 m
Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .
Hence the correct option is B.
Direction. Velocity is a vector that describes both speed and direction, while speed is a scalar that describes only speed regardless of direction.
