Serway & Jewett — Motion in One Dimension: Problem 43
In a women’s 100-m race, accelerating uniformly, Laura takes 2.00 s and Healan 3.00 s to attain their maximum speeds, which they each maintain for the rest of the race. They cross the finish line simultaneously, both setting a world record of 10.4 s. (a) What is the acceleration of each sprinter? (b) What are their respective maximum speeds? (c) Which sprinter is ahead at the 6.00-s mark, and by how much? (d) What is the maximum distance by which Healan is behind Laura, and at what time does that occur?
📝 Solution Approach
Find: (a) What is the acceleration of each sprinter?; (b) What are their respective maximum speeds?; (c) Which sprinter is ahead at the 6
