Multiple-Concept Example 13 presents useful background for this problem. The cheetah is one of the fastest accelerating animals,

for it can go from rest to 30.4 m/s in 5.40 s. If its mass is 108 kg, determine the average power developed by the cheetah during the acceleration phase of its motion. Express your answer in (a) watts and (b) horsepower.

Answer:

9241.6 W or 12.39318 hp

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

m = Mass

t = Time taken

Energy

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=\frac{1}{2}108(30.4^2-0^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=49904.64\ Joules$

Power

$P=\frac{KE}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{49904.64}{5.4}\\\Rightarrow P=9241.6\ W$

Converting to hp

$1\ W=\frac{1}{745.7}\ hp$

$\\\Rightarrow 9241.6\ W=\frac{9241.6}{745.7}\ hp=12.39318\ hp$

The power developed by the cheetah is 9241.6 W or 12.39318 hp

I've been getting this question wrong and i still don't know it.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Laser helps in zooming an image on which it is directed or falls so that it becomes easier for a large population to understand what the teacher or guide is talking about.

For example, when Greg is giving slide show presentation to a large audience then in order to make his slides visualized by everyone in the room he uses laser.

Therefore, we can conclude that a laser best help him with the presentation as he can use the laser to enlarge images on the slides.

Answer:

ANSWER BELOW I

V

Remember that w=mg where w is weight in Newtons, m is mass in kilograms, and g is gravity in

m/s2

. For example, for Earth, 445 N = 45.4 × 9.8

m/s2

:Notice that the x-axis values will be gravity in

m/s2

, which is already given in the table, and the y-axis values will be the weight in Newtons. Remember to round your weights to a whole number, and to enter the points starting with the lowest gravity (moon, then Mars, then Venus, then Earth).

The combination of an applied force and a friction force produces a constant total torque of 35.5 N · m on a wheel rotating abou

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

a) $I = 19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2}$ , b) $T = -3.405\,N\cdot m$ , c) $n_{T} \approx 54.842\,rev$

Explanation:

a) The net torque is:

$T = I\cdot \alpha$

Let assume a constant angular acceleration, which is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} - 0\,\frac{rad}{s} }{5.80\,s}$

$\alpha = 1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The moment of inertia of the wheel is:

$I = \frac{T}{\alpha}$

$I = \frac{35.5\,N\cdot m}{1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$I = 19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2}$

b) The deceleration of the wheel is due to the friction force. The deceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega-\omega_{o}}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s} - 10.4\,\frac{rad}{s}}{60.4\,s}$

$\alpha = - 0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The magnitude of the torque due to friction:

$T = (19.799\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot (-0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )$

$T = -3.405\,N\cdot m$

c) The total angular displacement is:

$\theta_{T} = \theta_{1} + \theta_{2}$

$\theta_{T} = \frac{(10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}-(0\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (1.793\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )} + \frac{(0\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}-(10.4\,\frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (-0.172\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} )}$

$\theta_{T} = 344.580\,rad$

The total number of revolutions of the wheel is:

$n_{T} = \frac{\theta_{T}}{2\pi}$

$n_{T} = \frac{344.580\,rad}{2\pi}$

$n_{T} \approx 54.842\,rev$

What is speed of light in crown glass?

german

Answer:

1.97 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

refractive index of crown glass with respect to air, n = 1.52

speed of light in air, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Let v be the speed of light in crown glass.

By use of the definition of refractive index

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

where, n be the refractive index of crown glass, c be the speed of light in vacuum and v be the speed of light in crown glass

$1.52 = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{v}$

$v = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{1.52}$

v = 1.97 x 10^8 m/s

Thus, the speed of light in crown glass is 1.97 x 10^8 m/s.
