The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, can accelerate at 8.15 m/s2 to a top speed of vcmax = 33 m/s. A cheetah observes a

passing gazelle traveling at vg = 18.4 m/s and begins to chase it. How long, in seconds, does it take the cheetah to reach its maximum velocity, vcmax, assuming its acceleration is constant?

Answer:

t=4.04s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)\\\\

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

to solve this problem we can use the ecuation number 1

Vf=33m/s

Vo=0m/s, ( the cheetah starts from rest, although the gazelle is moving=

a=8.15m/s^2)

Vf=Vo+at

t=(Vf-Vo)/a

t=(33-0)/8.15

t=4.04s

A hiker walks 4.30 km east, turns 90.0º due south and walks an additional 2.48 km. What distance did the hiker travel? *
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

6.78 km

Explanation:

Length of path due east  = 4.3km

Length of path south = 2.48km

Unknown:

Distance covered = ?

Solution:

The distance covered is the total length of path from start to finish. It takes cognizance of the turns and every direction moved.

Unlike displacement which only considers the net direction from start to finish, distance sums up the total path.

 So;

   Distance  = 4.3km + 2.48km = 6.78km

How does the magnitude of the horizontal velocity change as the human cannonball passes through points a
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The question has the following answer options:

A. It decreases.

B. It increases.

C. It decreases then increases.

D. It does not change.

The correct answer is: D. It does not change.

Explanation:

The trajectory of a projectile is the path that a body follows when it has been thrown. It can be depicted in a coordinate system. Typically, the horizontal x axis stands for the distance that the object travels (in direction x) and the vertical and axis stands for the height (in direction y) of the throw. This very common form of movement is surprisingly simple to analyze if the following two assumptions are made:

1. The acceleration of free fall, g, is constant throughout the range of motion and is directed downward.

2. The effect of air resistance can be ignored.

With these assumptions, it is found that the curve that describes a projectile, and that it is known as its trajectory, is always a parable.

The horizontal velocity remains constant because in that direction the acceleration is zero.
