Textbook Question
Chapter P.1, Problem 8P
Animal Athletes
Different animals have very different capacities for running. A horse can maintain a top speed of 20 m/s for a long distance but has a maximum acceleration of only 6.0 m/s2, half what a good human sprinter can achieve with a block to push against. Greyhounds, dogs especially bred for feats of running, have a top speed of 17 m /s, but their acceleration is much greater than that of the horse. Greyhounds are particularly adept at turning corners at a run.
Figure 1.1
A human sprinter of mass 70 kg starts a run at the maximum possible acceleration, pushing backward against a block set in the track What is the force of his foot on the block?
A. 1500N
B. 840 N
C. 690 N
D. 420N

Question 14 Question 14 of 20 Save Answer A car is travelling at the speed of V m/s on a straight, level road. After the brakes are applied at t = 0, the motion can be approximated by s = (1/100)(t^3) - t^2 + 20t, where s is the distance traveled in meters, and t is the time in seconds. Determine the distance (meters) required for the car to stop. Round off 1 points to one decimal place. A Moving to another question will save this response. «< Question 14 of 20 29°C Rain sho...
