The cheetah's rate of acceleration is 10 m/s².Option A is correct.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The rate of velocity change concerning time is known as acceleration.

Given data;

Initial velocity, u= 0 m/s

Final velocity, v= 25 m/s

Time elapsed, t = 2.5 seconds.

To find ;

Acceleration, a

The acceleration when the change in velocity is observed by the formula as:

$\rm a= \frac{v-u}{t}$

Substitute the given values:

$\rm a= \frac{25-0}{2.5} \\\\ a= 10 \ m/s^2$

The cheetah's rate of acceleration is 10 m/s²

Hence option A is correct.

1. If an object of mass m collides and velocity v collides inelastically with an object of mass 3m that is initially at rest, th

Archy [21]

Answer:

1a). 4 times. 1b) 4. 1c) 1/4.

2a) 5 times. 1b) 5 1c) 1/5

3a) 7/3 times 3b) 7/3 3c) 3/7

4a) 8/5 times 4b) 8/5 4c) 5/8

Explanation:

1) Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, so the following general expression applies:

m₁*v₁₀ + m₂*v₂₀ = m₁*v₁f + m₂*v₂f (1)

If we assume that the collision is perfectly inelastic, this means that both masses stick together after the collision, so v₁f = v₂f.

If m₂ is initially at rest, ⇒ v₂₀ = 0.

Replacing in (1) we get the expression of vf as a function of v₁₀, as follows:

vf = v₁₀*(m₁/(m₁+m₂)

So, for the four cases we have the following:

1) initial mass = m

final mass = m+3m = 4 m

⇒final mass / initial mass = 4

vf = v₀* (m/4m) = v₀/4 ⇒v₀/vf = 4

So, the velocity of the system will decrease by a factor of 4. The new velocity will be vf= v₀/4.

2) Applying the same considerations, we get:

2a) final mass / initial mass = 5

2b) vf = v₀* (m/5m) = v₀/5 ⇒v₀/vf = 5

2c) vf = v₀/5

3) Applying the same considerations, we get:

3a) final mass / initial mass = 7/3

3b) vf = v₀* (3m/7m) =3/7* v₀ ⇒v₀/vf = 7/3

3c) vf = 3/7*v₀

4) Applying the same considerations, we get:

4a) final mass / initial mass = 8/5

4b) vf = v₀* (5m/8m) = 5/8*v₀ ⇒v₀/vf = 8/5

4c) vf = 5/8*v₀

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the helium nucleus 52he. express your answer in millions of electron volts to four s

Vitek1552 [10]

The main formula is given by Eb/nucleon = Eb/ mass of nucleid
as for 52He, the mass is 5
so by applying Einstein's formula Eb=DmC², Eb=binding energy
52He-----------> 2 x 11p + 3 x10n is the equation bilan
so Dm=2 mp + (5-2)mn-mnucleus, mp=mass of proton=1.67 10^-27 kg
mn=mass of neutron=1.67 10^-27 kg
 m nucleus= 5
Dm= 2x1.67 10^-27 kg+ 3x1.67 10^-27 kg-5= - 4.9 J
Eb= - 4.9 J x c²= -4.9 x 9 .10^16= - 45 10^16 J
so the answer is Eb /nucleon = Eb/5= -9.10^16 J, but 1eV=1.6 . 10^-19 J
so -9.10^16 J/ 1.6 10^-19= -5.625 10^35 eV

the final answer is Eb /nucleon = -5.625 x10^35 eV

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W

Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

W = 0.49 N

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

τ = 0.4851 Nm

The pivot exerts a FORCE on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.
