In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10.0 km10.0 km race in a time of 27 min27 min , 43.6 s43.6 s . Suppose "Pre" was at the 7.85 km7.85 km mark at a time of 25.0 min25.0 min . If he accelerated for 60 s60 s and then maintained his increased speed for the remainder of the race, calculate his acceleration over the 60 s60 s interval. Assume his instantaneous speed at the 7.85 km7.85 km mark was the same as his overall average speed up to that time.

a = 0.161

Explanation:

Given :

= 10 km = 10000 m

= 27 min 43.6 s

        = 1663.6 s

= 7.85 km = 7850 m

= 25 min = 1500 s

= 60 s

Now the initial speed for the distance of 7.85 km is

 = 5.23 m/s

The velocity after 60 s after the distance of 7.85 kn is

    = 5.23 + a(60)

The distance traveled for 60 s after the distance of 7.85 km is

    = 313.8 + a(1800)

The time taken for the last journey where the speed is again uniform is

   = 1663.6 - 1500 - 60

   = 103.6 s

Therefore, the distance traveled for the time is

    = (5.23+60a)(103.6)

    = 541.8 + 6216 a

The total distance traveled,

Now substituting the values in the above equation for the acceleration a is

10000 = 7850 + (313.6 + 1800a) + (541.8 + 6216a)

10000 = 8706.5 + 8016a

1294.4 = 8016a

a = 0.161

sonar - device which is used to find the submit submarines, sankalp ship. sonar waves consists of a transmitter and detector which are installed in the observation centre on board of a ship. the ultrasonic waves are sent into the sea at high frequency about 1000 khz in all direction.

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
