Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 62.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate from 2.00 to 6.00 m/s in a distance of 25.0 m, if he encounters a headwind that exerts an average force of 30.0 N against him.

Force exerted by sprinter = 69.68 N

Explanation:

From work energy theorem, we know that, work done is equal to change in kinetic energy.

Thus,

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = (1/2)m•(v_f)² - (1/2)m•(v_i)² - - - - eq(1)

Now,

Work done is also;

W = Force x Distance = F•d - - - (2)

From the question, we are given ;

v_f = 6 m/s

v_i = 2 m/s

d = 25m

m = 62 kg

Equating equation 1 and 2,we get;

(1/2)m•(v_f)² - (1/2)m•(v_i)² = F•d

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain ;

(1/2)(62)[(6)² - (2)²] = F x 25

31(36 - 4) = 25F

992 = 25F

F = 39.68 N

The force the sprinter exerts backward on the track will be the sum of this force and the headwind force.

Thus,

Force of sprinter = 39.68 + 30 = 69.68N

volts times amps 6 x 0.5 3w

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
