Usain Bolt, an Olympian from Jamaica, is the fastest human ever recorded. Determine his average rate of acceleration if he achieved a speed of 10.4 m/s in 9.58 sec. (Think about what a sprinter's initial speed is.)

1.09 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Final speed of the sprinter (v) = 10.4 m/s

Initial speed of the sprinter (u) = 0 m/s (As the sprinter starts from rest position)

Time taken to reach the speed(Δt) = 9.58 s

Average acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

So, the acceleration of the sprinter is given as:

Plug in all the given values and solve for acceleration, 'a'. This gives,

Therefore, the magnitude of the average acceleration of the sprinter is 1.09 m/s².

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
