A Thomson's gazelle can reach a speed of 13 m/s in 3.0 s. A lion can reach a speed of 9.5 m/s in 1.0 s. A trout can reach a spee

d of 2.8 m/s in 0.12 s. Which equation from the formula sheet should you use to determine which animal has the largest acceleration?

Answer:

The acceleration of Trout is largest.

Explanation:

Speed of Thomson's gazelle, v = 13 m/s in 3 s. Let us assumed that initial speed is 0. Acceleration is given by :

a_T=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a_T=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a_T=\dfrac{13\ m/s}{3\ s}\\\\a_T=4.34\ m/s^2

Speed of lion is 9.5 m/s in 10 s. Let us assumed that initial speed is 0. Acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a_l=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a_l=\dfrac{9.5\ m/s}{1\ s}\\\\a_l=9.5\ m/s^2

A trout can reach a speed of 2.8 m/s in 0.12 s. Let us assumed that initial speed is 0. Acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a_t=\dfrac{v}{t}\\\\a_t=\dfrac{2.8\ m/s}{0.12\ s}\\\\a_t=23.34\ m/s^2

It is clear that the acceleration of Thomson's gazelle, lion and trout is 4.34\ m/s^2, 9.5\ m/s^2\ and\ 23.34\ m/s^2 respectively. So, the acceleration of Trout is largest.

The momentum of a falling rock is found to be 200 kg m/s. What is the mass of the rock if it falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 40 \ kilograms}}

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass. The formula is:

p=m*v

We know the rock is falling. Its momentum is 200 kilograms meters per second and its velocity is 5 meters per second. Substitute the values into the formula.

200 \ kg \ m/s = m * 5.0 \ m/s

We are solving for m, the mass. We must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divided both sides by 5.0 m/s.

\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=\frac{ m* 5.0 \ m/s }{5.0 \ m/s}

\frac{200 \ kg \ m/s}{5.0 \ m/s}=m

The units of meters per second (m/s) cancel.

\frac{200 \ kg}{5.0 } =m

40 \ kg = m

The falling rock has a mass of <u>40 kilograms.</u>

How to measure the external diameter of a sphere
DanielleElmas [232]
Sphere is that the circular objects in the two dimensional space (1) circle
(2) disk. Two dimensional space is a set of points and the distance of that point,The two points of Sphere that length and center.
Sphere can constructed as the named of surface form circle about any diameter. circle is the special type of the revolution replacing the circle,
sphere is the distance r is the radius of the ball and circle is the center of mathematical ball,as the center and the radius of the sphere is to respectively.
The ball and sphere has not be maintained mathematical references as a solid references. A sphere of any radius is centered at the number of zero.
