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:

R=2.78\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

The current flowing in the circuit, I = 3 A

The power of the battery, P = 25 W

We need to find the resistance of the battery. We know that the power of the battery is given by the formula as follows :

P=I^2R

Put all the values to find R.

R=\dfrac{P}{I^2}\\\\R=\dfrac{25}{(3)^2}\\\\R=2.78\ \Omega

So, the resistance is equal to 2.78\ \Omega.

Which best describes a concave lens?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Concave lens also called as diverging lens i.e. it diverges ray of light coming towards it.

Concave lens is thicker at the edges and thinner at the center.

Concave lens formed the virtual image of the object i.e. it cannot be trace on screen. This lens is used to treat the nearsightedness or myopia in which a person is unable to see the far object clearly.

What is special relativity
Rudiy27

Answer:

In physics, special relativity (also known as the special theory of relativity) is the generally accepted and experimentally confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time.

We need special relativity in order to solve for quantum gravity. ... The earth was expanding (thus, it's mass was expanding) through space in all directions in order to create gravity **OOPS** forgot, specifically at an accelerating rate… OR… The space must be pushing toward or down on the earth, from every direction.
