Two runners in a 100 m race start from the same place. Runner A starts as soon as the starting gun is fired and runs at a constant speed of 8.00 m/s. Runner B isn’t really paying attention and starts running 2.0 s later and runs at a constant speed of 9.3 m/s.
a. Draw a position vs time graph for each runner.
b. Who wins the race?
c. At the instant the winner crosses the finish line, how far is the winner ahead of the other runner?
d. If the runners decide they want to cross the finish line together, and Runner A again begins the instant the starting gun is fired, how many seconds should Runner B delay in order to catch Runner A exactly at the finish line?

Near the end of a marathon race, the first two runners are separated by a distance of 45.0 m. The front runner has a velocity of 3.45 m/s, and the second a velocity of 4.20 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the second runner relative to the first? m/s faster than the front runner. (b) If the front runner is 250 m from the finish line, who will win the race, assuming they run at constant velocity? The first...

17. Two runners start running in the same direction at the same instant, t- 0.00. Runner A starts from a point that is 20.0 meters in front of runner B. Runner A starts with and maintains a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s for 3.00 seconds, and then runs at a constant velocity. Runner B starts with and maintains a constant acceleration of 2.20 m/s for 4.0 seconds, and then runs at a constant velocity. a. Calculate the time when runner...

Races in athletics are started by the sound of a starting gun, traditionally located to one side of the first lane. But are runners disadvantaged if they are further away from the person holding the starting gun? Task Using algebra, investigate whether the distance from the starting gun will impact on a runner’s ability to win a race. Explore which runners would be most disadvantaged if the race was won by 0.1 seconds or 0.01 seconds. Useful information Runners...

Runner Rendezvous. Two runners start simultaneously at opposite ends of a straight 200 m track and run towards each other. Runner A runs at a steady 9.00 m/s, while Runner B runs at a constant 5.00 m/s. a) Draw a diagram of this situation. Include a coordinate system in your diagram, and label the initial positions and velocities of both runners. Also estimate where the runners would meet and label it as x. b) Write equations for the position of...

In a quarter-mile drag race, two cars start simultaneously from rest, and each accelerates at a constant rate until it either reaches its maximum speed or crosses the finish line. Car A has an acceleration of 11.6 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 108 m/s. Car B has an acceleration of 11.7 m/s2 and a maximum speed of 91.0 m/s. Which car wins the race, and by how many seconds?

A cyclist sprints at the end of a race to clinch a victory. She has an initial velocity of 11.3 m/s and accelerates at a rate of 0.610 m/s for 7.85 s. (a) What is her final velocity? (Enter the magnitude in m/s.) 16.089 m/s (b) The cyclist continues at this velocity to the finish line. If she is 300 m from the finish line when she starts to accelerate, how much time did she save (in s)? (c) The...
