One simple model for a person running the 100 mdash is to assume the sprinter runs with constant acceleration until reaching top speed, then maintains that speed through the finish line.
If a sprinter reaches his top speed of 11.5 m/sin 2.74 s , what will be his total time?

SOLUTION :
Initial speed = 0 m/s
Top speed = 11.5 m/s
As top speed is attained at constant acceleration, we can consider average speed
during the acceleration period to determine the distance run.
So,
Distance run in the acceleration period
= average speed * time taken
= (0 + 11.5 / 2 * 2.74
= 5.75 * 2.74
= 15.755 m
So, distance run at top speed of 11.5 m/s
= 100 - 15.755
= 84. 245 m
Time taken to `run at constant top speed
= Distance run / top sped
= 84.245 / 11.5
= 7.33 sec
Total time taken to run 100m race
= time at constant acceleration + time at constant sped
= 2.74 + 7.33
= 10.07 sec (ANSWER).

A typical male sprinter can maintain his maximum acceleration for 2.0 s and his maximum speed is 10m/s . After reaching this maximum speed, his acceleration becomes zero and then he runs at constant speed. Assume that his acceleration is constant during the first 2.0 s of the race, that he starts from rest, and that he runs in a straight line. How far has the sprinter run when he reaches his maximum speed? What is the magnitude of his...
