# Part (a) Determine the sprinter’s constant acceleration during the first \(2 \, \text{seconds}\).
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]d_1 = 100 \, \text{m} \, – \, 90 \, \text{m} = 10 \, \text{m}[/katex] | The first part of the sprint covers 10 meters. |
| 2 | [katex]d_1 = \frac{1}{2} a t_1^2[/katex] | Use the formula for distance under constant acceleration starting from rest: [katex]d = \frac{1}{2} a t^2[/katex]. |
| 3 | [katex]10 \, \text{m} = \frac{1}{2} a (2 \, \text{s})^2 [/katex] | Substitute [katex] d_1 = 10 \, \text{m} [/katex] and [katex] t_1 = 2 \, \text{s} [/katex]. |
| 4 | [katex]10 \, \text{m} = 2 a \, \text{s}^2 [/katex] | Simplify the equation. |
| 5 | [katex]a = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 [/katex] | Solving for acceleration gives [katex]a[/katex]. |
| 6 | [katex]a = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2[/katex] | Constant acceleration value. |
# Part (b) Determine the sprinter’s velocity after 2 seconds have elapsed.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]v = a t_1 [/katex] | Using the formula for velocity under constant acceleration: [katex]v = a t[/katex]. |
| 2 | [katex]v = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \times 2 \, \text{s}[/katex] | Substitute [katex] a = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 [/katex] and [katex] t_1 = 2 \, \text{s} [/katex]. |
| 3 | [katex]v = 10 \, \text{m/s}[/katex] | Solve for [katex]v[/katex]. |
# Part (c) Determine the total time needed to run the full 100 meters.
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [katex]v = d_2 / t_2 [/katex] | The velocity [katex]v[/katex] is constant for the remaining part of the race. |
| 2 | [katex]10 \, \text{m/s} = 90 \, \text{m} / t_2 [/katex] | Substitute [katex] v = 10 \, \text{m/s} [/katex] and [katex] d_2 = 90 \, \text{m} [/katex]. |
| 3 | [katex]t_2 = 90 \, \text{m} / 10 \, \text{m/s} [/katex] | Rearrange to solve for [katex] t_2 [/katex]. |
| 4 | [katex]t_2 = 9 \, \text{s} [/katex] | Solve for [katex] t_2 [/katex]. |
| 5 | [katex]t_{\text{total}} = t_1 + t_2 = 2 \, \text{s} + 9 \, \text{s} [/katex] | The total time is the sum of the two intervals. |
| 6 | [katex]t_{\text{total}} = 11 \, \text{s} [/katex] | Total time to run 100 meters. |
# Part (d) Draw the displacement vs time curve for the sprinter.
The displacement vs. time graph would show a parabolic curve for the first 2 seconds and a linear relationship thereafter to indicate constant velocity:
1. From [katex] t = 0 [/katex] to [katex] t = 2 [/katex] seconds, the curve will be a parabola opening upwards.
2. From [katex] t = 2[/katex] seconds to [katex] t = 11 [/katex] seconds, the curve will be a straight line with a constant slope of [katex]10 \, \text{m/s}[/katex].
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Two identical metal balls are being held side by side at the top of a ramp. Alex lets one ball, \( A \), start rolling down the hill. A few seconds later, Alex’s partner, Bob, starts the second ball, \( B \), down the hill by giving it a push. Ball \( B \) rolls down the hill along a line parallel to the path of the first ball and passes it. At the instant ball \( B \) passes ball \( A \):
Can an object’s average velocity equal zero when object’s speed is greater than zero? Explain using the formula for average velocity vs speed.
An object is thrown downward at 23 m/s from the top of a 200 m tall building.
A 1000 kg car is traveling east at 20m/s when it collides perfectly inelastically with a northbound 2000 kg car traveling at 15m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.9, how far, and at what angle do the two cars skid before coming to a stop?
Consider a ball thrown up from the surface of the earth into the air at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) above the horizontal. Air resistance is negligible. The ball’s acceleration just after release is most nearly

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
