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

Why does a charged balloon stick to a neutral wall?
Jobisdone [24]
<span>When you bring a charged object, such as your balloon, near a neutral object that is classified as an insulator, than a temporary charge is induced in the neutral object. If the charged object is positive, then electrons in the neutral object will be attracted toward the charged object, creating a temporary imbalance of charges in the neutral object.</span>

Two balls of mass m1 and m2, with velocities v1 and v2 collide head on. Is there any way for both balls to have zero velocity af
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the final Kinetic energy is zero or less than initial kinetic energy, the collision must be inelastic.  

In Inelastic collision both the bodies must stick together as final velocity is zero for both the bodies.

To conserve the momentum, momentum associated before the collision of first must be equal and opposite to the momentum associated with the second ball.

i.e.

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

Buildings can affect the surface albedo.

The surface is the outermost or uppermost layer of a physical item or area. it is the element or place of the object which could first be perceived by an observer through the usage of the senses of sight and contact and is the component with which other materials first engage.

A surface is the outermost layer of any physical object. it is the part of the object that may be perceived by an observer using their experience of sight and touch and is the portion with which surrounding substances first engage.

The chemical and mechanical residences include chemical composition, grain, hardness, energy, and inhomogeneities.
