Question

An athlete starts running from rest such that he covers a distance of 5mm in 0.50s with a constant change in velocity per unit time . when will he reach the finish line, if he is running a race of 50m? ​

Answer 1

50 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Δx = 0.005 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 0.50 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.005 m = (0 m/s) (0.50 s) + ½ a (0.50 s)²

a = 0.04 m/s²

Given:

Δx = 50 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.04 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

50 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.04 m/s²) t²

t = 50 s
