What is the magnitude of the horizontal force acting on the sprinter? Express your answer with the appropriate units. A 53kg sprinter, starting from rest, runs 44m in 7.0s at constant acceleration. * Incorrect; Try Again; 7 attempts remaining Part B What is the sprinter's power output at 2.0s,4.0s, and 6.0s ? Express your answers in kilowatts separated by commas.
From Newton's second law, we know the formula of force acting on a moving body is given as where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the body.In the problem, the mass of the sprinter given, we can determine the acceleration of the sprinter using the kinematics relation considering the sprinter has started running from zero initial velocity, i.e., and given, the sprinter runs 44m in 7s. So we have x=44m and t=7sTherefore we can determine the acceleration of the sprinter from the above formula as The sprinter is having acceleration
