Answer:

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of velocity of an object moving along a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

v = velocity of the object at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time

We know that at t = 2.22 s, v = 50.0 mi/h. The initial velocity, v0, is zero.

Let's convert mi/h into m/s:

50.0 mi/h · (1609.3 m / 1 mi) · (1 h / 3600 s) = 22.4 m/s

Then, using the equation:

v = v0 + a · t

22.4 m/s = 0 m/s + a · 2.22 s

Solving for a:

22.4 m/s / 2.22 s = a

a = 10.1 m/s²

The acceleration of the cheetahs is 10.1 m/s²

Only about 50% of the solar energy directed toward Earth penetrates directly to the surface. Explain what happens to the rest of
Tresset [83]

Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant

An astronaut on an alien planet drops a rock into a crater which is 100 meters deep. The rock hits the bottom of the crater 4 se
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

A car traveling at 20 m/s when the driver sees a child standing in the road. He takes 0.80 s to react, then steps on the brakes
mr Goodwill [35]

When driver see the child standing on road his speed is 20 m/s

So here at that instant his reaction time is 0.80 s

He will cover a total distance given by product of speed and time

d_1 = v* t

d_1 = 20 * 0.8

d_1 = 16 m

now after this he will apply brakes with acceleration a = 7 m/s^2

so the distance covered before it stop is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 20^2 = 2*(-7)*d_2

d_2 = 28.6 m

so the total distance covered by it

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 16 + 28.6 = 44.6 m

<em>so it will cover a total distance of 44.6 m</em>
