Complete Question:

One simple model for a person running the 100 m dash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line. If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.5 m/s in 2.24 s, what will be his total time?

total time = 6.24 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

v = u + at

initial speed, u = 0 m/s

v = 11.5 m/s

t = 2.24 s

11.5 = 0 + 2.24a

a = 11.5/2.24

a = 5.13 m/s²

For the total time spent by the sprinter:

s = ut + 0.5at²

100 = 0.5 * 5.13 * t²

t² = 100/2.567

t² = 38.957

t = √38.957

t = 6.24 s

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
