- The velocity as a function of time for a world-class track sprinter in a 100 m race is shown in the figure. The sprinter accelerates for the first 4.0 seconds, and then runs at a constant velocity until the end of the race. What is his average velocity for the first 4.0 s, in meters per second?arrow_forwardA commuter backs her car out of her garage with a constant acceleration of 1.9 m/s2. Assume that her initial motion is in the positive direction. How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.35 m/s in seconds? If she then brakes to a stop in 0.65 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second?arrow_forwardStarting from rest, a bus leaves a gas station with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s˄2 until it reaches a speed of 10 m/s. The bus then continues to move with this speed (10 m/s) for 5 s. Then the bus decelerates at 2.5 m/s˄2 until it stops. What is the total distance traveled by the bus?arrow_forward

Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.36 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 2.2 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.2 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume that the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate.
