A runner can maintain a constant acceleration of 1.1m/s^2 for 8.5 seconds. What distance could the runner cover in that time of starting from rest

Respuesta :

The distance covered by the runner after starting from rest is 39.74 m/s².

The real route length of a moving particle or object is referred to as distance. The shortest distance between a body's initial and final positions is referred to as displacement. Speed is the amount of distance a particle travels in one unit of time.

The constant acceleration of a runner is 1.1 m/s².

The runner maintains the constant acceleration for 8.5 seconds.

So,

a = 1.1 m/s²

t = 8.4 seconds

Since the runner starts from the rest.

Therefore, the initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut + (1/2) × a × t²

s = 0 × 8.5 + ( 1/2 ) × 1.1 × 8.5 × 8.5

s = ( 1/2 ) × 79.475

s = 39.737 m/s²

s = 39.74 m/s²
