Sunee is training for an upcoming 5.0-km race. She starts out her training run by moving at a constant

pace of 4.3 m/s for 19 min. Then she accelerates at a constant rate until she crosses the finish line, 19.4

s later. What is her acceleration during the last portion of the training run?

Here, we are required to determine Sunee's acceleration during the last portion of the training run.

Sunee's acceleration during the last portion of the training run is a = 0.0775m/s².

She starts out at a pace of 4.3 m/s for 19mins.

Therefore, after 19 mins = 1140seconds;

Sunee must have travelled a distance,

D = speed × time

D = 4.3 × 1140

D = 4902 m

However, the race is a 5km race, therefore the rest of the race, S = 5000 - 4902 = 98m

By using the equation of motion thus;

S = ut + (1/2)at².

  • where t = 19.4s
  • u = 4.3m/s
  • S = 98m
  • a = ?

Therefore;

  • 98 = 4.3(19.4) + (1/2) × a × (19.4)²

  • 98 = 83.42 + 188.18a

  • 14.58 = 188.18a

  • a = 14.58/188.18

a = 0.0775 m/s².

Therefore, Sunee's acceleration during the last portion of the training run is a = 0.0775m/s².

This question can be solved using the equations of motion.

The acceleration of Sunee during the last portion is "0.077 m/s²".

First, we will find the distance covered by Sunee in the first portion of uniform motion. So, we will use the equation for uniform motion here:

[tex]d = vt\\[/tex]

where,

d = distance covered = ?

v = uniform speed = 4.3 m/s

t = time interval = 19 min = 1140 s

Therefore,

[tex]d = (4.3\ m/s)(1140\ s)\\d = 4902\ m[/tex]

Now, the distance covered during the last portion will be:

s = Total Distance - d

s = 5 km - 4902 m = 5000 m - 4902 m

s = 98 m

Now, we use the second equation of motion to find out the acceleration during the last portion:

[tex]s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

where,

s = 98 m

vi = initial speed = 4.3 m/s

t = time interval = 19.4 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

[tex]98\ m = (4.3\ m/s)(19.4\ s)+\frac{1}{2}a(19.4\ s)^2\\\\a = \frac{2(14.58\ m)}{376.36\ s^2}[/tex]

a = 0.077 m/s²
