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

- Scientific Narrative 14 Using your HW Guide as a resource, write a scientific narrative paragraph for the following prompt: How can a ball bouncing up and down be used to describe acceleration?arrow_forwardQ8arrow_forwardCarbon Paper Ax A student collects the following data for a ball that rolls off a ramp on a table. Ax =62 cm Ay =107 cm The student then moves the ramp so that Ay=128 cm. How far (Ax) will the ball now travel? Give your answer in centimeters to TWO (2) significant figures.arrow_forward
- Directions:Answer the following problems: 1.A car drives east at 40 m/s for 500 seconds, stops, turns around, then drives west at 50 m/s for 400 seconds and stops. What is the displacement of the car? What is the distance the car traveled? 2.An object move to the left from X1: 9 to X2: -3 find the distance and displacement. 3. What is the distance and displacement of the ball as it bounce back from the wall with 2m initial distance and 4m as final distance. 4.What is the distance and displacement of the bullet, shot in a can with a starting point of 5m to 10m end. 5. An object travels 80m east and then 160m south. What is the distance and displacement?arrow_forward200 A Moving to another question will save this response. 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...

- Galileo conducted an experiment where he rolled different balls down an inclined plane. Galileo determined that each ball traveled a distance that was directly proportional to the square of the time it traveled. What did Galileo conclude from this experiment? A. Air resistance affects all objects equally.B. All objects accelerate toward Earth at the same rate.C. Objects with greater mass accelerate toward Earth faster than less massive objects.D. The force of friction from the inclined plane causes a decrease in the acceleration of an object.arrow_forwardAfter a long and grueling race, two cadets, A and B, are coming into the finish line at the Marine Corps marathon. They move in the same direction along a straight path; the position-versus-time graphs for the runners are shown in Figure P2.7 for a minute near the end of the race. a. At time t1 is the speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of cadet A? b. At time t2, is cadet B speeding up, slowing down, or moving with constant speed? c. From time t = 0 to time t = 60 s, is the average speed of cadet B greater than, less than, or equal to the average speed of cadet A? Explain.arrow_forwardSuppose you set your textbook sliding across a gymnasium floor with a certain initial speed. It quickly stops moving because of a friction force exerted on it by the floor. Next, you start a basketball rolling with the same initial speed. It keeps rolling from one end of the gym to the other, (a) Why does the basketball roll so far? (b) Does friction significantly affect the basketballs motion?arrow_forward
