Because it can go from rest to 14.2 m/s (about 32 mi/h) in 2.1 s, one of the fastest-accelerating animals is the cheetah. If its

mass is 56.0 kg, determine the average power developed by the cheetah during the acceleration phase of its motion. Express your answer in the following units.
(a) watts and
(b) horsepower.

Answer:

(a) P_{power}=2688.53Watt

(b) P_{power}=3.605hp

Explanation:

For part (a)

As we know that

P_{power}=\frac{W_{work}}{t_{time}}\\As\\ W=1/2(mv_{f}^{2}-mv_{o}^{2} )So\\P_{power}=\frac{1/2(mv_{f}^{2}-mv_{o}^{2} )}{t}\\ P_{power}=\frac{1/2(56.0kg*(14.2m/s)^2-56.0kg*(0m/s)^2)}{2.1s} \\P_{power}=2688.53Watt

For part (b)

The power in unit of horsepower is:

P_{power}=(2688.53Watt)(\frac{1hp}{745.7Watt} )\\P_{power}=3.605hp

How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi
LenaWriter [7]
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

The change in motion (acceleration) of an object depends on
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

BOTH the size of the force AND the mass of the object

Explanation:

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of its velocity.

The relation between force, mass and acceleration is given by the formula as follows :

F = ma

m is mass

a is acceleration

It would mean that the change in motion or the acceleration of an object depends on both the size of the force and the mass of the object. Hence, the correct option is (c).
