A cheetah is resting when a hare traveling in a straight path passes at it's top speed of 25m/s. It takes the cheetah 1.5 second

s to get up and begin running. The cheetah accelerates to it's top speed of 45m/s is 20 seconds. It can maintain speed for 2 seconds before decelerating at 4 m/s^2.
A. What is the initial acceleration of the cheetah
B. How long does the chase last
C. How far has the cheetah traveled before stopping
D. What is the final velocity of the cheetah?

Answer:

a) 2.3 m/s^2

b) 33.3 s

c) 803 m

d) 0 m/s

Explanation:

We need to apply the accelerated motion formulas.

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}\\\\a=\frac{45m/s-0m/s}{20s}\\\\a=2.3m/s^2

we need to calculate the time the cheetah takes to stop when it starts to decelerate:

v=vo+a*t\\\\t=\frac{v-v_o}{a}\\\\t=\frac{0-45m/s}{-4m/s^2}=11.3s\\\\t_t=20s+2s+11.3s=33.3s

We need to calculate the displacement for all of the stages:

stage 1:

x_1=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\x_1=\frac{1}{2}*2.3m/s^2*(20)^2\\\\x_1=460m

stage 2:

x_2=v*t\\x_2=45m/s*2s=90m

stage 3:

x_3=v_o*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\x_3=45m/s*(11.3s)-\frac{1}{2}*4m/s^2*(11.3)^2\\\\x_3=253m

The total displacement is given by:

d=x_1+x_2+x_3\\d=460m+90m+253m=803m

the final velocity of the cheetah is zero because the cheetah decelerates until stop.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.

polet [3.4K]

Answer: The horizontal location of the plane will BE OVER THE BOMB

Explanation:

As soon as the bomb was dropped, the bomb will fall under gravity (free fall) and the location of the plane continues to increase horizontally till the bomb reaches the ground which is a falling distance to be travelled by the bomb at 9.8m/s²

Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.
