The leopard will catch the deer after 13.7 seconds.

Explanation:

The deer is moving by uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can write the equation of its position at time t as follows:

x_d(t) = v_d t + x_0

where

v_d = 10 m/s is the velocity of the deer

t is the time

x_0 = 10 m is the initial position of the deer when the leopard starts moving (in fact, the leopard starts from 10 metres behind)

Substituting the numbers,

x_d(t) = 10+10t (1)

Instead, the leopard moves from rest at constant acceleration, so the equation of its position is

x_l(t) = \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

a=1.56 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting,

x_l(t) = \frac{1}{2}(1.56)t^2=0.78 t^2 (2)

The leopard catches the  deer when they are at the same position, therefore

x_d = x_l\\10+10t=0.78t^2

And solving the equation,

0.78t^2 -10t-10 = 0\\t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{(-10)^2-4(0.78)(-10)}}{2(0.78)}

which gives two solutions:

t = -0.93 s

t = 13.7 s

And neglecting the negative solution since it has no physical meaning, we can say that the leopard catches the deer after 13.7 seconds.

A force is a push or a pull. Under the right circumstances, anything can exert a force.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Explanation:

the force that you applied caused the notebook to move.

the force applied on the notebook by the table causes it to stop moving.

this is because after sometime the book uses up the force and later the force you applied is less than that of the force by the table.

Which of the following statements are true for magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field? Che
qaws [65]

Answer:

The following statements are correct.

1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

2. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

3. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.

Wrong statements:

1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic field lines.

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o
borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
r * F_c = mv^2

Divide both sides by Fc:
\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}
