Answer: Mohs scale is used to describe hardness of a mineral

Explanation:

The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a scale given by Friedrich Mohs to analyse hardness of various minerals by the ability of harder mineral to scratch softer mineral.

The scale ranges from 1 to 10 with scale of 10 given to the hardest substance that is diamond.

Answer:

1) Yes, the gazelle gets to safety

2) The speed with which the gazelle needs to run, to beat the cheater by 2 seconds is approximately 29.79 m/s

Explanation:

1) The distance of the gazelle, from the gazelle safe zone = 275 m

The distance of the cheetah from the gazelle = 455 m

The speed of the gazelle = 25 m/s

The speed of the cheetah = 65 m/s

Therefore, we have;

Let the time the gazelle reaches the safe zone = t, which gives;

t = 275 m/(25 m/s) = 11

t = 11 seconds

Let the time the cheetah reaches the gazelle = t₁, we have;

455 + 25 × t₁ = 65 × t₁

t₁ = 455/40 = 11.375

t₁ = 11.375 seconds

The gazelle reaches the gazelle safe zone before the cheetah reaches the gazelle

Therefore, the gazelle gets to safety

2) In order for the gazelle to beat the gazelle by 2 seconds, we have;

The time for the cheetah to reach the safe zone = (275 + 455)/65 = 11.23 seconds

Therefore, we have;

In order for the gazelle to beat the gazelle by 2 seconds the time the cheetah reaches the safe zone = 11.23 - 2 = 9.23 s

The speed of the gazelle is then 275/9.23 ≈ 29.79 m/s

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Impulse which can be defined as the product between mass and the total change in velocity. That is to say

$p = m\Delta v$
