Answer:
10.6 s
Explanation:
First of all, let's convert both speeds into m/s:
- Cheetah:
- Gazelle:
Taking as reference the position x = 0, the position of the cheetah at time t is
while the position of the gazelle, which starts 68.8 m ahead, is
The cheetah catches the gazelle when the two positions are equal:
and substituting the speeds and solving for t, we find the time at which the cheetah reaches the gazelle:
Potential energy is measured by mass * gravity * height. So, the larger the mass on a roller coaster, the more potential energy it has.
Also, the higher it is, the more potential energy it has.
Answer:
1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.
2)b. = 14 m/s
3) e. = 19.6 m/s
Explanation:
1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.
2) speed = distance/time
horizontal distance = 56m
Time = 4 seconds
Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s
3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2
Initial vertical velocity = u
Final vertical velocity = v = -u
Using the law of motion;
v = u + at
a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2
t = time of flight = 4
Substituting the values;
-u = u - 4(9.8)
-2u = -4(9.8)
u = -4(9.8)/-2
u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s
Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s
Answer:
a= 0.5m/s^2
Explanation:
Force applied on an object is known as
F=m.a (Newton's second law states it)
a=F/m
a=5/10=0.5m/s^2
