Question 7: *
A sprinter in a 100m race accelerates uniformly for the
first 35 m and then runs with constant velocity. If the
sprinter's time for the first 35 m is 5.4 s, determine (a)
his acceleration, (b) his final velocity, (c) his time for the
race. Write your answer in the form
(a. a=
m/s^2 ; b. v_f =m/s; c. t= s)
Your answer
In Michael Johnson’s world-record 400 m sprint, he ran the first 100 m in 11.20 s; then he reached the 200 m mark after a total time of 21.32 s had elapsed, reached the 300 m mark after 31.76 s, and finished in 43.18 s. a. During what 100 m segment was his speed the highest? b. During this segment, what was his speed in m/s?
The boat's position during the interval of time from t 2s to t= 10 s is given by s = 4t +1.6t-0.08r
