In 1994, Leroy Burrell of the United States set what was then a new world record for the men’s 100 m run. He ran the 1.00  102 m distance in 9.5 s. Assuming that he ran with a constant speed equal to his average speed, and his kinetic energy was 3.40  103 J, what was Burrell’s mass?

61.33 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1×10² m

Time = 9.5 s

Velocity =?

Velocity = Distance / time

Velocity = 1×10² / 9.5

Velocity = 10.53 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Leroy Burrell. This can be obtained as follow:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 3.40×10³ J

Velocity (v) = 10.53 m/s

Mass (m) =?

KE = ½mv²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 10.53²

3.40×10³ = ½ × m × 110.8809

3.40×10³ = m × 55.44045

Divide both side by 55.44045

m = 3.40×10³ / 55.44045

m = 61.33 Kg

Thus, the mass of Leroy Burrell is 61.33 Kg
