Find her acceleration
A 65.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 8.30m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race
A sprinter in a 120-m race accelerates uniformly for the first 47 m and then runs with constant velocity. If the sprinter's time for the first 47 m is 6.0 s,
determine (a) his acceleration in m/s^2
(b) his final velocity in m/s
(c) his time for the race in seconds
