etting a world record in a 100-m race, Maggie and Judy cross the finish line in a dead heat, both taking 10.2 seconds. Accelerating uniformity, Maggie took 2.0 seconds and Judy 3.0 seconds to reach their max speed, which they maintains for the remainder of the race. What is the acceleration of each sprinter? What were their maximum speeds? Which sprinter was head at t=6.0 seconds and by how much?

A sprinter in the 100 m dash accelerates for 1.5 seconds when the starting pistol goes off, before reaching the maximum speed of 9.1 m/s. (Keep in mind the world record for maximum speed is 10.49 seconds) A) What distance does she cover while she accelerates? B) What's her race time?
Imagine that a sprinter accelerates from rest to a maximum speed of 10.3 m/s in 1.8 s. In what time interval will he finish the 100-m race if he keeps his speed constant at 10.3 m/s for the last part of the race? What assumptions did you make?
Usain Bolt wants to complete a 10kilometer-run in less than 30 minutes. After running at constant speed for exactly 26 minutes, the runner still has 1.5km left to run. The runner must then accelerate at 0.30m/s2 for how many seconds to reach a final velocity that will allow them to complete the 1.5km left of the race in the desired time?
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. If a horse starts from rest and accelerates at the maximum value until reaching its top speed, how far does it run, to the nearest 10 m?A. 40 m B. 30 mC. 20 m D. 10 m
1. New York to San Francisco. It travels at an average speed of 500 miles per hour. What is the distance between the two cities? 2. A Truck is moving from rest and attained a velocity of 80 m/s. Calculate the acceleration of the Truck after 5 s? 3. A Marble is dropped from the top of a building. After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the acceleration for the dropped marble 4. A canonis fired with amuzzle velocityof 300m/s at an angle of 600 what is its range?.
A black mamba snake has a length of 3.30 m and a top speed of 4.90 m/s. Suppose a mongoose and a black mamba find themselves nose to nose. In an effort to escape, the snake accelerates past the mongoose at 7.82 m/s2 from rest. How much time ?top does it take the snake to reach its top speed? How far ?snake does the snake travel in that time? How much time ?react does the mongoose have to react before the black mamba's tail passes the mongoose's nose?
The first stretch of a 100-meter dash are covered in 2.00 seconds by a sprinter who starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration. The remaining 90.0 meters are run with the same velocity the sprinter had after the first stretch. What is the sprinter's acceleration in the first stretch?
What is the acceleration of a car that maintains a constant velocity of 100 km/h for 10 s? (Why do some of your classmates who correctly answer the question 1 get this question wrong?) Question 1 What is the acceleration of a car that increases its velocity from 0 to 100 km/h in 10 s?
A runner hopes to complete the 10,000 – m run in less than 30.0 min. After exactly 28.0 min, there are still 800 m to go. The runner must then accelerate at 0.2 m/s2 for how many seconds in order to achieve the desired time?
A 1 kg ball and a 2 kg ball, both the same dimensions, are dropped at the same time from a height of 20 m. Ignoring air resistance, which ball hits the ground first (if any) and why A skier move at 12 m/s stops pushing and simply glides along, slowing to a reduced speed of 5 m/s after gliding for 13 m. What is the magnitude of their acceleration as they slow, rounded to one decimal place?
You are in your brand new Porsche 911. I can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 s! How far will you have traveled in those 4.1 s? (please answer in m and miles...) what was your acceleration rate? What was your average velocity in m/s? If 1 g= 9.8 m/s^2 how many g's did you do?Oh No a deer!!Now lets say you slam on the brakes and decelerate at a rate of 15 m/s^2, How long and how far will you travel before you can come to a complete stop? (time and distance required to halt =____).
Consider two cars, a 700kg Porsche and a 600kg Honda Civic. The Porsche is speeding along at 40 m/s (mph) and the Civic is going half the speed at 20 m/s. If the two cars brake to a stop with the same constant acceleration, are either the amount of time required to come to a stop, or the distance traveled prior to stopping influenced by their initial velocity?
