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.

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related
Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.
