    Runner will run for 210m

    Step by Step Explanation:

    According to Newton's first of motion,

    Vf=Vi+at

    Given is

    the speed with which runner is running will be Vi, he is running with accelertion a=4.2m/s2 fot time t=10sec

    Vf will be 0 because runner will stop after winning the race

    we will find Vi from equation 1,

    Vi=Vf-at

    = 0 - 4.2*10

    =-42 m/s (negative sign is showing decceleration)

    So, Vi=42 m/s

    According to Newton's third of motion,

    2aS = Vf^2-Vi^2

    S is distance, he will cover before stopping,

    2 (4.2) S = 0 - 42^2

    S=1764/8.4

    S=210m

    Runner will run for 210m
