# 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."
A ball is tossed directly upward. Its total time in the air is \( T \). Its maximum height is \( H \). What is its height after it has been in the air a time \( T/4 \)? Air resistance is negligible.
A horizontal 300 N force pushes a 40 kg object across a horizontal 10 meter frictionless surface. After this, the block slides up a 20° incline. Assuming the incline has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.4, how far along the incline with the object slide?
Which pair of graphs represents the same 1- dimensional motion?
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5 seconds for a distance of 100 m. Determine the acceleration of the car.
A ranger in a national park is driving at \( 56 \, \text{km/h} \) when a deer jumps onto the road \( 65 \, \text{m} \) ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction time of \( t \, \text{s} \), the ranger applies the brakes to produce an acceleration of \( -3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer?

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]
