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

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?

You are arguing over a cell phone while trailing an unmarked police car by 25m; both your car and the police car are traveling at 110km/h..Your argument diverts your attention from the police car for 2.0s, (long enough for you to look at the phone and yell, 鈥淚 won鈥檛 do that!鈥). At the beginning of that 2.0s,the police officer begins braking suddenly at 5.0m/s2(a)What is the separation between the two cars when your attention finally returns? Suppose that you take another0.40s to realize your danger and begin braking. (b)If you too brake at5.0m/s2,what is your speed when you hit the police car?

Figure 2-20 gives the velocity of a particle moving along an axis. Point 1 is at the highest point on the curve; point 4 is at the lowest point; and points 2 and 6 are at the same height. What is the direction of travel at (a) time t=0and (b) point 4? (c) At which of the six numbered points does the particle reverse its direction of travel? (d) Rank the six points according to the magnitude of the acceleration, greatest first.

In figure, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to x axis. At time t=0, the red car is atxr=0and green car is at xg=220m. If the red car has constant velocity of 20 km/hr, the cars pass each other atx = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of40 km/hr, they pass each other atx = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity? (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?
