Homework Statement
You nose out another runner to win the 100.000 m dash. If your total time for the race was 11.800 s and you aced out the other runner by 0.001 s, by how many meters did you win?
Homework Equations
a = v-v0 / t
The Attempt at a Solution
So i found the acceleration of both the runners and took the difference between their accelerations. Now what do i do to find the distance the runner won by?
100 m / 11.801 s = 8.474 m/s
100 m /11.800 s = 8.475 m/s
8.475 m/s - 8.474 m/s = 0.001 m/s
