Chapter 2, Problem 82EAP
III Careful measurements have been made of Olympic sprinter in the 100 meter dash. A quite realistic model is that the sprint er's velocity is given by
where t is in s, vxis in m/s, and the constants a and b are char acteristic of the sprinter. Sprinter Carl Lewis's run at the 1987 World Championships is modeled with a = 11.81 m/s and
- What was Lewis's acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

- My question isn't how to solve the problem exactly. In fact, it's already been solved on this website. My question is about the acceleration. When I solve this problem myself, first I calculate the velocity by dividing 100m by 53s. I get 1.89m/s. Then I use that to find the acceleration using the equation vf = vi + at. That's 1.89/53 = 0.036m/s^2. That's not correct. The correct way to find the acceleration is to us the equation d = 1/2 at^2 and solve that way without taking the intermediate step of finding the velocity. Doing it that way, the acceleration is 0.0712m/s^2. My question is why you get a different result doing it the first way than you get doing it the second way.arrow_forwardScenario: A family drove home after visiting the father's family.

- Alice is riding a bike at 12 mph, but decides to sprint. She takes 0.7 s to accelerate to 19 mph. At constant acceleration, calculate her acceleration, a/(ft/s2). (Here are possibly convenient conversion aids: 60 mph = 1 mi/min = 88 ft/s. This equation is exact. You may wish to verify the equation. One mile = 60*88 ft, and one hour = 60*60 s.)arrow_forwardTo determine the height of a bridge above the water, a student drops a coin and measures the time it takes for it to hit the water.
