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

Which of the following statements about price elasticity of demand is​ true?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

B. The elastic portion of a​ straight-line, downward-sloping demand curve corresponds to the segment above the midpoint.

Explanation:

Elasticity measures the sensitivity of one variable to another. Specifically it is a figure that indicates the percentage variation that a variable will experience in response to a variation of another one percent.

The elasticity of demand measures the reaction of demand when one of the factors that affects it varies.

<u>Elasticity - Price of demand.</u>

easure the sensitivity of the quantity demanded to price variations. It indicates the percentage variation that the quantity demanded of a good will experience if its price rises by 1 percent.

<u> Elastic Demand </u>

The demand quantity is relatively sensitive to price variations, so the total expenditure on the product decreases when the price rises, the price elasticity takes value greater than -∞ but less than -1

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north

A positively charged plastic ruler is brought close to a piece paper resting on the desk. The piece of paper was initially neutr
stealth61 [152]

Answer: static electricity

Explanation:

When the plastic ruler is rubbed, friction opposes the motion and causes the transfer of electron from one surface to another such that plastic becomes negatively charged. When ruler is brought nearer to the paper, it induces the   positive charge in the piece of paper.
