Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the runner, m₁ = 60 kg

Speed of runner, v₁ = 11 m/s

Mass of cheetah, m₂ = 60 kg

Speed of cheetah, v₂ = 33 m/s

Kinetic energy of runner, E_r=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2

E_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 60\times (11)^2=3630........(1)

Kinetic energy of cheetah, E_c=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

E_c=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 60\times (33)^2=32670\ J..............(2)

From equation (1) and (2), it is clear that

E_c= 9\times E_r

So, the kinetic energy of the cheetah is nine times that of human runner. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the cheetah exceed by the 9 times of the runner.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of runner = 60 kg

Velocity of runner = 11 m/s

Mass of cheetah = 60 kg

Velocity of cheetah = 33 m/s

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the cheetah

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Kinetic energy of runner

K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{r}v_{r}^2....(I)

Kinetic energy of cheetah

K.E_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{c}v_{c}^2....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{K.E_{r}}{K.E_{c}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m_{r}v_{r}^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}m_{c}v_{c}^2}

K.E_{c}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m_{c}v_{c}^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}m_{r}v_{r}^2}\timesK.E_{r}

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{c}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times60\times(33)^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}\times60\times(11)^2}\timesK.E_{r}

K.E_{c}=9K.E_{r}

Hence, The kinetic energy of the cheetah exceed by the 9 times of the runner.

A square piece of tin has 12 inches on a side. An open box is formed by cutting out equal square pieces at the corners and bendi
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square Piece whose side is 12 inches

Now square pieces are cut from each corner to make it a open box

Suppose x is the length of square piece at each corner

then

base square has a length of 12-2x

Dimension of new box is (12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x

Volume V=(12-2x)\times (12-2x)\times x

V=\left ( 12-2x\right )^2\cdot x

For maximum volume differentiate with respect to x we get

\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} x}=2\times \left ( 12-2x\right )\times \left ( -2\right )\cdot x+\left ( 12-2x\right )^2=0

we get x=6 and 4 but at x=6 volume becomes zero therefore x=4 is valid

V=\left ( 12-2\cdot 4\right )^2\cdot 4

V=4^3

V=64\ in.^3

A force acts on a 5kg object at rest. How fast will the object accelerate on a frictionless surface?
MakcuM [25]

Answer: The answer is C.) 25 m/s^2.

Explanation: If you input 5 as s, you would have to use the exponent 2.  This means that you have to multiply 5 by 5.  5 x 5= 25.  

Edit: Also, because the surface is frictionless, it will make the object go faster too.  Nothing can really slow it down unless something blocks it.
