The olympic record for running the 200 m dash is 19.3 seconds. what is the average speed for this record?

a. 10.36 m/s

b. 3960 m/s

c. 219.3 m

d. 0.0965 m/s

A

Explanation:

v = change of X / change of T

v = 200/19.3

A. 10.36 m/s

Explanation:

The Olympic record for running the 200 m dash is 19.3 seconds. What is the average speed for this record?

A. 10.36 m/s

B. 3960 m/s

C. 219.3 m

D. 0.0965 m/s

speed is the change in distance per time

speed is scalar quantity and hence as no direction but only magnitude. time  and distance are also  scalar quantity

200/19.3

speed=10.36m/s

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
