let the initial acceleration be a m/s^2.
initial speed=0 m/s
time of acceleration=3 seconds
final speed=initial speed+acceleration*time=0+a*3=3*a m/s
distance covered=initial speed*time+0.5*accceleration*time^2=0.5*a*9=4.5*a ma
for the next 7 seconds , he runs with uniform speed of 3*a m/s
then distance covered=speed*time=3*a*7=21*a m
total distance covered is 100 m
==>4.5*a+21*a=100
==>a=3.9216 m/s^2
part a:
his acceleration is 3.9216 m/s^2
part b:distance travelled in first 3 seconds=4.5*a=17.647 m
part c:
his final speed was 3*a=11.765 m/s
Usain Bolt can sprint 100 m in 10s. He accelerates uniformly for the first 3 s...
3. Usain Bolt running a 100-meter race starts at rest, accelerates at constant acceleration with magnitude A for 3.5 seconds, and then runs at constant speed until the end. If Usain takes a total of 9.58 seconds to run the 100 meters, find the acceleration A
1. Usian Bolt holds the 100 m world record with a time of 9.58 s. During the race, he has a reaction time of 0.15 s, and then he accelerates at a constant rate from rest to his top speed in 2.73 s. He then runs at this top speed for the rest of the race. a) What was his top speed during the race? Hint: You might find it helpful to start this problem by sketching the velocity vs...
12) A sprinter running a 100 m race starts at rest and accelerates at constant acceleration A for 3.0 seconds and then maintains a constant velocity. In terms of A, what is the position of the runner after 3.0 seconds? What is A if the sprinter finishes the race in 12.0 seconds? 13) What force is needed to accelerate a 30.0 lb block at 2.2 m/s2? 14) What force is needed to stop a 1500 kg car in 40 m...
A particle, starting at rest, accelerates at 5 m/s2 for 10s. It then decelerates to 30 m/s over a period of 10s. The particle then moves at a constant speed for 20s before decelerating to zero over a period of 5s. Plot the velocity and acceleration of the particle as functions of time. What is the total distance traveled by the particle?
Chapter 2, Problem 2/084 Multistep A sprinter practicing for the 200-m dash accelerates uniformly from rest at A and reaches a top speed of 39 km/h at the 68-m mark. He then maintains this speed for the next 66 meters before uniformly slowing to a final speed of 34 km/h at the finish line. Determine the maximum horizontal acceleration which the sprinter experiences during the run. Where does this maximum acceleration value occur? Finish line 39.9 m ▼Part 1 Your...
An auto accelerates from rest with acceleration a = 5 m/s2 for 10 s. It then maintains constant velocity for a period of time. Finally, in phase 3, it accelerates uniformly to rest over a period of 20 s. It travels a total distance of 1000 m. How much time does it spend traveling at constant speed? The answer is 5 s but I don't know how to get it. Show all work thanks!
Sean is running a 100 m dash. When the starter's pistol fires, he leaves the starting block and continues speeding up until 6 s into the race, when he reaches his top speed of 11 m/s. He holds this speed for 2 s; then his speed has slowed to 10 m/s by the time he crosses the finish line 11 s after he started the race 11) Chapter 2, Problem 6 Assume that Sean starts from rest and his motion...
A car going 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2 for 3 seconds. Then he travels at a constant velocity for 4 seconds. What is the total distance traveled in the 7 seconds and what is the final speed of the car?
An 87.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 2.28 m/s^2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 30 m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder of the 100 m dash, what will be his time (in s) for the race?
A sprinter is running at a speed of 9.30 m/s, then accelerates at a constant rate of 1.37 m/s2 for the last 9.70 m of the race. What is his final speed as he crosses the finish line?
