Inraces, runner 1 on track 1 (with time 2min,27.95sec) appears to be faster than runner 2 on track 2 (2min,28.15sec). However, length L2of track 2 might be slightly greater than length L1of track 1. How large L2-L1can be for us still to conclude that runner 1 is faster?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of to conclude that runner 1 is faster is less than 1.35 m .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Length of track 1,L1=1km=1000m,

Time taken by runner 1,t1=2min,27.95sec

Time taken by runner 2, t2=2min,28.15sec

02

 Step 2: Understanding the speed

Speed may be defined as the rate of change of distance with time. The speed of runner 1, when multiplied by the time taken by runner 2, gives the actual length of track 2 to conclude that runner 1 is faster.

The equation for the speed is given as follows:

Speed=DistanceTime

03

Determination of the value of L2-L1  for which runner 1 will be faster

Time taken by runner 1 is calculated as follows:

t1=260+27.95=147.95s

Time taken by runner 2 is calculated as follows:

t2=260+28.15=148.15s

The speed of runner 1 is calculated as follows:

v1=L1t1=1000m147.95s=6.759m/s

Now, the distance covered by runner 2 with this speed is calculated as follows:

role="math" localid="1651842941901" L2=v1t2=6.759m/s148.15s=1001.35m

So, the value of L2-L1is as follows:

L2-L1=1001.35m-1000m=1.35m

Thus, the value of L2-L1to conclude that runner 1 is faster is less than 1.35 m

A salamander of the genus Hydromantes captures prey by launching its tongue as a projectile. The skeletal part of the tongue is shot forward, unfolding the rest of the tongue, until the outer portion lands on the prey, sticking to it. Figure 2-39 shows the acceleration magnitude a versus time t for the acceleration phase of the launch in a typical situation. The indicated accelerations are a2=400m/s2anda1=100m/s2. What is the outward speed of the tongue at the end of the acceleration phase?

The 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 sec , at which he commented 鈥淐ogito ergo zoom!鈥 (I think, therefore I go fast). In 2001, Sam Whittingham beat Huber鈥檚 record by 19.0 km/h. What was Whittingham鈥檚 time through the 200 m?

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/hflies off the front of one train when they are 60 kmapart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the bird flies directly back to the first train and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way). What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?

On a dry road, a car with good tires may be able to brake with a constant deceleration of 4.29m/s2 . (a)How long does such a car, initially travelling at 24.6 m/s, take to stop? (b)How far does it travel in this time? (c)Graph x vs t and v vs t for the deceleration.

A muon (an elementary particle) enters a region with a speed of5.00106m/sand then is slowed down at the rate of1.251014m/s2. (a)How far does the muon take to stop? (b) Graph x vs t and v vs t for the muon.
