A marathoner running at 2.8 m/s is excited about only having a little bit more to go to finish the race. If it takes him 4 and a half minutes to reach the finish line from that point, and he accelerates by 0.002 m/s2 from then until the finish, how fast will he be running when he crosses the finish line?
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Initial velocity of the runner is vi=2.8m/s
Acceleration of the runner is a=0.002m/s2
Time taken by the runner to reach the finish line is
The acceleration of the runner is constant, the motion of the runner is governed by the kinematics equations for uniformly accelerated motion. To find the velocity of the runner after time t, that is when he reaches the finish line, we use

she leaves the starting block and continues speeding up until 4 s
into the race, when she reaches her top speed of 9 m/s. She holds
this speed for 5 s; then her speed has slowed to 7 m/s by the time
she crosses the finish line 12 s after she started the race. The

because of his philosophical beliefs, but for quite different
reasons. And he had excellent empirical evidence that...
