A sprinter running a 100-meter race starts at rest, accelerates at constant acceleration with magnitude A for 2 seconds, and then runs at constant speed until the end. a) Find the position (relative to the start position) and speed of the runner at the end of the 2 seconds in terms of A. b) Assume that the runner takes a total of 10 seconds to run the 100 meters. Find the value of the acceleration A. You can leave your answer in terms of a fraction but clearly indicate the units.
Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up? If so, describe a possible physical situation and a corresponding coordinate system. If not, explain why not.
A "superman" is sitting on a tree 98 m high with a child he has rescued from the claws of a tiger. Unfortunately, the child slips and falls with an initial velocity of zero. The "superman" realized what was happening 2 seconds later and flew to catch the child at a constant speed of 39.2 m s-1. Calculate :
a) the time the "super man" will fly before catching the child.
b) the distance the "super man" will fly to catch the child.
Assume that the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m s-2.
