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

- Two marbles roll off a table top that is 2 meters high. The marbles roll off the table at the same time, but with different speeds. The red marble has a speed of 3 m/s, while the blue marble has a speed of 6 m/s. Which is true? A.The blue marble will strike the ground in less time than the red marble. B.The red marble will strike the ground in less time than the blue marble. C.It is impossible to determine the time the marbles will take to reach the ground unless their mass is known .D.The red and blue marbles will strike the ground at the same time.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes why objects can move in a circular path? a. The inertia of the objects pushes them along the circular path b. A centripetal force pushes them toward the center of the circular path. c. The momentum of the objects pushes them along the circular path. d. A centrifugal force pushes them along the circular path.arrow_forwardThe Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held in England where a wheel of cheese is rolled down a hill while people chase after it competing on who can catch it first. If the hill has a height of 69.6 m and the cheese starts at rest, what is the cheese’s velocity at the bottom of the hill? Ignore friction.arrow_forward
