In a women's 100-m race, accelerating uniformly, Laura takes 1.84 s and Healan 2.93 s to attain their maximum speeds, which they each maintain for the rest of the race. They cross the finish line simultaneously, both setting a world record of 10.4 s.

(a) What is the acceleration of each sprinter?

aLaura =  m/s2
aHealan =  m/s2


(b) What are their respective maximum speeds

vLaura,max =  m/s
vHealan,max =  m/s


(c) Which sprinter is ahead at the 5.50-s mark, and by how much?

---Select--- Laura Healan is ahead by  m.


(d) What is the maximum distance by which Healan is behind Laura?
m

At what time does that occur?
s
