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.

When water in clouds undergoes condensation, it can lead to?
olga_2 [115]
It will lead to rain. I know this because as the clouds move over water sources like oceans, lakes, and rivers, the water evaporates and rises. The water then liquefies into little water droplets. As the cloud moves over more water the droplets get scrunched up and get bigger over time and soon they get heavy and gravity pulls the droplets down to earth as rain. The End.

An unstable nucleus which has a tendency to spontaneously change its form with the emission of high-energy particles or photons
Pepsi [2]

Answer:Radioactive

Explanation:

The radioactive nucleus is the one which does not has enough binding energy to hold the nucleus in a stable state and thus radiates either electron or proton to become a stable element.

A radioactive element is formed when after billions of years such as uranium and thorium. The stability of the nucleus depends upon the opposition of attractive and repulsive force among the nucleus.
