Answer:

a. 0.98 J

b. -0.98 J

c. 306.25 J/m²

Explanation:

(a)

\Delta U_g = mgh\\\Delta U_g = 5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.8 \times 20\\\Delta U_g = 0.980 J

(b)

The increase in gravitational potential energy = decrease in elastic potential energy

Elastic potential energy = -0.980 J

(c) The spring constant can be calculated as follows:

-\frac{1}{2}kx^2=-0.980\\ k = \frac{2\times 0.980}{0.08^2} = 306.25 J/m^2

A 51.0 kg cheetah accelerates from rest to its top speed of 31.7 m/s. HINT (a) How much net work (in J) is required for the chee
andrey2020 [161]

(a) 2.56\cdot 10^4 J

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on the cheetah is equal to its change in kinetic energy:

W= \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2

where

m = 51.0 kg is the mass of the cheetah

u = 0 is the initial speed of the cheetah (zero because it starts from rest)

u = 31.7 m/s is the final speed

Substituting, we find

W=\frac{1}{2}(51.0 kg)(31.7 m/s)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(51.0 kg)(0)^2=2.56\cdot 10^4 J

(b) 6.1 cal

The conversion between calories and Joules is

1 cal = 4186 J

Here the energy the cheetah needs is

E=2.56\cdot 10^4 J

Therefore we can set up a simple proportion

1 cal : 4186 J = x : 2.56\cdot 10^4 J

to find the equivalent energy in calories:

x=\frac{(1 cal)(2.56\cdot 10^4 J)}{4186 J}=6.1 cal

If an object falls with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object must continually change by varying amounts, depending
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

continually change by the same amount each second

Explanation:

We all are aware  with the fact that a car speeds is increased when we put our feet  on the accelerator. The rate at which the particle's velocity change with time is called its acceleration. If the particle's velocity changes with constant rate, then its rate is called the constant acceleration.

Since the basic units are meter and seconds. And the SI unit of velocity is m/s and acceleration's SI unit is m/s^{2}

For example if the velocity is change from 2 to 4 m/s in 1 sec its acceleration is 2m/s^{2} and again its velocity is change with 4 m/s to 6 m/s will again give constant acceleration in 1 s is 2m/s^{2}.
