Careful measurements have been made of olympic sprinters in the 100-meter dash. a quite realistic model is that the sprinter's velocity is given by vx =a(1-e^(-bt))
where t is in s, vx is in m/s, and the constants a and b are characteristic of the sprinter. sprinter carl lewis's run at the 1987 world championships is modeled with a= 11.81 m/s and b = 0.6887 s^-1.
a. what was lewis's acceleration at t= 0s?
b. what was lewis's acceleration at t = 2.10s ?
c. what was lewis's acceleration at t = 4.45s ?
d. find an expression for the distance traveled at time t .
e. your expression from part d is a transcendental equation, meaning that you can't solve it for t. however, it's not hard to use trial and error to find the time needed to travel a specific distance. to the nearest 0.01s , find the time lewis needed to sprint 100.0m . his official time was 0.01s more than your answer, showing that this model is very good, but not perfect.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
