An object at free fall near the Earth’s surface experiences constant velocity.

Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hour in 2.22 s starting from rest. Assuming that they have constan

Answer:

$10.07m/s^2$

Explanation:

Information we have:

velocities:

initial velocity: $v_{i}=0mph$ (starts from rest)

final velocity: $v_{f}=50mph$

time: $t=2.22s$

Since we need the answer in $m/s^2$ , we nees to convert the speed to meters per second:

$v_{f}=\frac{50miles}{1hour}(\frac{1hour}{3,600s} )(\frac{1609.34meters}{1mile} ) \\\\v_{f}=\frac{50*1609.34}{3600} m/s\\\\v_{f}=22.35m/s$

We find the acceleration with the following formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

substituting the known values:

$a=\frac{22.35m/s-0m/s}{2.22s}\\ \\a=10.07m/s^2$

the acceleration is 10.07 $m/s^2$

A 5c charge experiences a force of 40n when put at a certain location in space. What is the electric field at that location?

stepladder [879]

The 'strength' of the electric field is the force on 1C of charge at that point.

At this 'certain location', the field is 40/5 = 8 newtons per coulomb = <u>8 volts</u>

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth. Its angular velocity is 7.27*10^-5 rad/s. What is the velocity o

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

v = 3.08 km/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The angular velocity of the satellite = $\omega=7.27\times 10^{-5} rad/s$

A satellite is in orbit 36000km above the surface of the earth.

The radius of the earth is 6400 km

Let v is the velocity of the satellite. It can be calculated as :

$v=r\omega\\\\v=(36000\times 10^3+6400\times 10^3)\times 7.27\times 10^{-5}\\\\v=3082.48\ m/s\\\\v=3.08\ km/s$

So, the velocity of the satellite is 3.08 km/s.

What does the potential energy and kinetic energy of an object depend on ?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Both, potential energy and kinetic energy depends on mass. The higher the mass, the higher the energy. However, the difference is that potential energy depends on vertical height whereas kinetic energy depends on the velocity.

Explanation:

From the formula we can see that;

Potential Energy = mass* gravitational acceleration *vertical height.

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity)^2
