The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.7 m/s in 2.50 s and

can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 28.7 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. 1) Express the cheetah's top speed in mi/h. (Express your answer to three significant figures.) 2) Starting from a crouched position, how long does it take a cheetah to reach its top speed? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) 3) How far does it travel in that time? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) 4) If a cheetah sees a rabbit 120 m away, how long will it take to reach the rabbit, assuming the rabbit does not move?(Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer:

1) 64.2 mi/h

2) 3.31 seconds

3) 47.5 m

4) 5.26 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 21.7 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

1) Top speed = 28.7 m/s

1 mile = 1609.344 m

1\ m=\frac{1}{1609.344}\ miles

1 hour = 60×60 seconds

1\ s=\frac{1}{3600}\ hours

28.7\ m/s=\frac{\frac{28.7}{1609.344}}{\frac{1}{3600}}=64.2\ mi/h

Top speed of the cheetah is 64.2 mi/h

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{21.7-0}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=8.68\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the cheetah is 8.68 m/s²

2)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{28.7-0}{8.68}\\\Rightarrow t=3.31\ s

It takes a cheetah 3.31 seconds to reach its top speed.

3)

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{28.7^2-0^2}{2\times 8.68}\\\Rightarrow s=47.5\ m

It travels 47.5 m in that time

4) When s = 120 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 120=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 8.68\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{120\times 2}{8.68}}\\\Rightarrow t=5.26\ s

The time it takes the cheetah to reach a rabbit is 120 m is 5.26 seconds

What is the difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration?
Nuetrik [128]

Centripetal acceleration is directed along a radius so it may also be called the radial acceleration. If the speed is not constant, then there is also a tangential acceleration (at). The tangential acceleration is, indeed, tangent to the path of the particle's motion.

A 40kg load is raised to a height of 25m. If the operation requires 1 min, find the power required​
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

163.33 Watts

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 40 Kg

Height (h) = 25 m

Time (t) = 1 min

Power (P) =..?

Next, we shall determine the energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 40 Kg

Height (h) = 25 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

E = mgh

E = 40 × 9.8 × 255

E = 9800 J

Finally, we shall determine the power. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 1 min = 60 s

Energy (E) = 9800 J

Power (P) =?

P = E/t

P = 9800 / 60

P = 163.33 Watts

Thus, the power required is 163.33 Watts

the batter swings the bat and makes contact with the ball. when this occurs, the kinetic energy of the bat is transferred to the
Ghella [55]
It will possibly be A) chemical b/c it can make a sound like when the bar hits the ball it makes a sound correct?! and also it created heat especially when it hits the ball. and when the ball MOVES and the bar HITS it creates kinetic energy, but when you hit the ball it doesn’t create a new substance.
