Question
A sprinter starts from rest in a 100-meter race, accelerates to his full running speed of 10.3 m/s in 1.15 seconds (assume constant acceleration) and continues at that speed for the rest of the race.
(a) How far did he run before attaining his full speed?
(b) What was his final time for the race?

(b) What was his final time for the race?
Answers
(a)
acceleration=(final velocity-initial velocity)/time
distance = (1/2)*(acceleration)*(time)^2 + (initial velocity)*(time)
(b) 100m - _____ (<-answer from (a))
find time using this formula:
distance = (1/2)*(acceleration)*(time)^2 + (initial velocity)*(time)
finally, add that time with 1.15 seconds

note: for part (b) plug in the "new" distance
mega velocity with aa high concentration means inertia resultant force= 22y2+1.48-
oh!~
