An 18-year-old runner can complete a 10.0-km course with an average speed of 4.47 m/s. A 50-year-old runner can cover the same distance with an average speed of 4.13 m/s. How much later (in seconds) should the younger runner start in order to finish the course at the same time as the older runner?

A marathon runner completes a 42.972km course in 2h 43 min 7 seconds. There is an uncertainty of 28 min in the distance time traveled and an uncertainty of 2s in the elapsed time. you can approximate the product error on the quotient by the sum of the product error on each quantity. What is the average speed m/s? percent uncertainty in elapsed time? what is the uncertainty in average speed in m/s?

A world class runner can complete a 100 m dash in about 10 s. Past studies have shown that runners in such a race accelerate uniformily for a time, t, and then run at a constant speed for the remainder of the race. A runner visits your physics class. You are asked to develop a procedure that will allow you to determine the uniform acceleration =, a, and an approximate value of t for the runner in a 100 m...
