To answer the questions above we find the trajectory of the human and the horse in terms of position and time and then plot the equation on the graph.
we will use newtons laws of motion under constant acceleration to solve our problem.
a)
For human,
since it starts from rest u=0ms-1
during acceleration.
..............................(i)
after reaching top speed
here, xo=107.84 , u=11.2ms-1 , t=t-1.4s and a =0
here t is taken as t-1.4 because the first 1.4s were used to accelerate.
........................(ii)
For the horse
since it starts from rest u=0ms-1
during acceleration.
..........................(iii)
after reaching top speed
here, xo=32.368 , u=19.04ms-1 , t=t-3.4s and a =0
.........................(iv)
rough diagram of the graph
b)
Human :
Top speed after full acceleration
position at which top speed is achieved
Horse:
Top speed after full acceleration
position at which top speed is achieved
c)
To find the meeting point.
We can see from the above calculations that just after acceleration the positions does not match. So, if they meet it must be at a point after they have reached top speed.
Now,
to meet there positions must be same so,
equation (ii)=(iv)
Therefore, position at which they meet
x=270m
d) The meeting point shows that the race was won by the human. This value must be compared with the distance in which the race occured(i.e 200m)
The meeting point shows that the human and horse meet after they have passed the finish line.
If any doubt feel free to comment.

A human’s higher initial acceleration suggests that a human might outrun a horse over a very short race, but the horse’s higher top speed allows it win a longer race. A simple – but plausible – model for a sprint by a human and a horse uses the following assumptions: The human accelerates at 8.00 m/s2 for 1.40 s then runs at constant speed. A horse accelerates at a more modest 5.60 m/s2 for a longer time of 3.40 s...
Show all work 2) Runner Rendezvous. Two runners start simultaneously at opposite ends of a straight 200 m track and run towards each other. Runner A runs at a steady 9.00 m/s, while Runner B runs at a constant 5.00 m/s. a) Draw a diagram of this situation. Include a coordinate system in your diagram, and label the initial positions and velocities of both runners. Also estimate where the runners would meet and label it as x. b) Write equations...

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...
Please try to answer all questions and show work. Thank you. 1. A baseball player is warming up and tosses a ball straight up into the air. The ball travels up until it reaches some maximum height, and then falls back down to the player's hand. If we neglect air resistance, then the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball is? A. largest the moment after it leaves the players hand. B. smallgst the moment after it leaves the player's...

Please work out 3 clearly and with units. Thanks! 1. A 10-g bullet travels vertically upwards at 1000 m/s, then strikes and passes through a 2.0-kg block initially at rest. The bullet emerges from the block with a speed of 400 m/s because it transfers momentum to the block. (a) How much momentum did the block gain?
