Cheetah mothers perform a number of different behaviors. They and their cubs stay in one place for only four days, moving on bef

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Cheetah cubs are in danger from predators like lions and hyenas which can track their prey by scent and so the mother and her cubs leave an area when their scent is too strong so that they are not hunted and the cubs survive.

Mother Cheetahs also train their cubs to hunt so that they may get food for themselves which will ensure their survival as well thus showing that both of these practices can impact on reproductive success.

1. When an object's distance from another object is changing it must be

slega [8]

An object is in motion if its distance from another object is changing. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. An reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is moving.

I cant solve this problem, and our teacher said that this would be in the test we'll have tomorrow, can someone help me?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

$\frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} = mgh$

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

$\sin(15) = \frac{h}{d} \\ or \: h = d \sin(15)$

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

${v}^{2} = 2gd \sin(15)$

Solving for d,

$d = \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) } = \frac{ {(7.5 \: \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)} \\ = 11.1 \: m$

Why is evidence good for practice

posledela

Answer:

HEYO BRO! (my bad for da caps)

Explanation:

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the idea that occupational practices ought to be based on scientific evidence. That at first sight may seem to be obviously desirable, but the proposal has been controversial.

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i$ (1)

Where:

$W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}$

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$ , so if the initial velocity $v_i$ is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy $K_i$ is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}$

$\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f$

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s
