Asprinter starts from rest and accelerates to her maximum speed of 10.5 m/s in a distance of 11.0 m. (a) what was her acceleration, if you assume it to be constant? 0 incorrect: your answer is incorrect. units are required for this answer. seenkey 5.01 m/s^2 (b) if this maximum speed is maintained for another 96.3 m, how long does it take her to run 107.3 m?

a)a=5.01m/s^2

b)t=11.26s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

to solve the question a, we can use the ecuation number 2

Vo=0

Vf=10.5 m/s

x=11m

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.x} =a

{10.5^{2}-0^2}/{2x11} =a

a=5.01m/s^2

to find the time we can use the ecuation number 1

Vf=Vo+a.t

t=(Vf-Vo)/a

t=(10.5-0)/5.01=2.09s

part b

in this case  the spees is constant, so the movement is defined by the following ecuation

X=VT

t=x/v

t=96.3/10.5=9.17s

to find the total time we sum the times when the speed is constant and when the acceleration is constan

t=9.17+2.09

t=11.26s

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
