Answer:

680 N

Explanation:

We start by calculating the cheetah's acceleration knowing that goes from rest (0 speed) to 20.1 m/s in 2 seconds:

a=\frac{v_f-v_1}{t} \\a=\frac{20.1-0}{2} =10.05 \frac{m}{s^2}

Now we use the definition of force (F):

F=m*a\\F=68 kg * 10.05 \frac{m}{s^2} =683.4 N

Therefore the force that accelerates the cheetah is 683.4 Newtons which we can round to 680 N to match the fourth choice shown

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.

A plane flying at a steady speed of 100 m/s accelerates to 150 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the plane’s acceleration?
Rashid [163]

A plane flying initially at 100 m/s uses an acceleration of 5 m/s² to reach a velocity of 150 m/s in 10 seconds.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

A plane is flying initially at 100 m/s (u) and it accelerates to 150 m/s (v) in 10 s (t). We can calculate its acceleration using the following expression.

a = v - u / t = (150 m/s - 100 m/s) / 10 s = 5 m/s²

A plane flying initially at 100 m/s uses an acceleration of 5 m/s² to reach a velocity of 150 m/s in 10 seconds.

How much does it take a person to walk 12km north at a velocity of 6.5 km/h?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1.846....hours

Explanation:

since if we divide 12 km or just 12 by 6.5 we will get this number meaning that this is how long it would take someone

10 N pushes a 10 kg crate to the right. Determine the acceleration of the crate.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The rate of acceleration of the crate would be 1 m/s^2 because the equation for force is F=ma and when you plug in your numbers you get 10=10a so a=1
