Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 19.6 m/s in 2.45 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s . Assum

e the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +x direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed ????top in miles per hour (mi/h) .

Answer:

  • v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

The left sides equals 1, so

1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

1 \ h = 3600 \ s

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}  \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}

v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}

Answer : The heat change of the cold water in Joules is, 1.6\times 10^3J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of cold water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. The volume of cold water is 45 mL.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass=Density\times Volume=1g/mL\times 45mL=45g

Now we have to calculate the heat change of cold water.

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

Q = heat change of cold water = ?

m = mass of cold water = 45 g

c = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of cold water = 24.7^oC

T_2 = final temperature  = 33.4^oC

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

Q=45g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (33.4-24.7)^oC

Q=1638.036J=1.6\times 10^3J

Therefore, the heat change of cold water is 1.6\times 10^3J

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
