The cheetah is one of the fastest-accelerating animals, because it can go from rest to 16.2 m/s (about 36 mi/h) in 2.4 s. If its

mass is 102 kg, determine the average power developed by the cheetah during the acceleration phase of its motion. Express your answer in the following units.

<h2>Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the ratio of energy to time.

Here we need to consider kinetic energy,

Mass, m = 102 kg

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 16.2 m/s

Time, t = 2.4 s

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Initial velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 0² = 0 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Final velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 16.2² = 13384.44 J

Change in energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Change in energy = 13384.44 - 0

Change in energy = 13384.44 J

Power = 13384.44  ÷ 2.4 = 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Four fixed point charges are at the corners of a square with sides of length L. Q1 is positive and at (OL) Q2 is positive and at
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

A) See Annex

B) Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16 [N] (repulsion force)

C)  Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /16 [N] (repulsion force)

D) Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ /32 [N] (attraction force)

E) Net force (its components)

Fnx = (2,59/64 )* K*Q²  [N] in direction of original Fq₃₂

Fny =(2,59/64 )* K*Q² [N] in direction of original Fq₁₂

Explanation:

For calculation of d (diagonal of the square, we apply Pythagoras Theorem)

d² = L² + L²    ⇒  d² = 2*L²     ⇒ d = √2*L²   ⇒ d= (√2 )*L

d = 4√2 units of length   (we will assume meters, to work with MKS system of units)

B) Force of Q₁ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₁₂  = K * Q₁*Q₂ /(L)²     Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16 (repulsion force in the direction indicated in annex)

C) Force of Q₃ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /(L)²     Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /16  (repulsion force in the direction indicated in annex)

D) Force of -Q₄ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ / (d)²      Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ /32 (Attraction force in the direction indicated in annex)

E) Net force in the case all charges have the same magnitude Q (keeping the negative sign in Q₄)

Let´s take the force that  Q₄ exerts on Q₂  and Q₂ = Q  ( magnitude) and

Q₄ = -Q

Then the force is:

F₄₂ = K * Q*Q / 32       F₄₂  = K* Q²/32  [N]

We should get its components

F₄₂(x) = [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2   and so is F₄₂(y)  =  [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2

Note that this components have opposite direction than forces  Fq₁₂  and

Fq₃₂  respectively, and that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively

In new conditions

Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16    becomes  Fq₁₂ = K * Q²/ 16 [N]   and

Fq₃₂ = K* Q₃*Q₂ /16      becomes   Fq₃₂ = K* Q² /16  [N]

Note that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively

Then over x-axis we subtract Fq₃₂ - F₄₂(x)  = Fnx

and over y-axis, we subtract   Fq₁₂ - F₄₂(y) = Fny

And we get:

Fnx = K* Q² /16 - [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2  ⇒  Fnx =  K*Q² [1/16 - √2/64]

Fnx = (2,59/64 )* K*Q²

Fny has the same magnitude  then

Fny =(2,59/64 )* K*Q²

The fact that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively, means that Fnx and Fny remains as repulsion forces

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm. She finds the pendulum m
forsale [732]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be g=5.718m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing =\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

So 1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}

\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230

Squaring both side

{\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529

g=5.718m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity will be g=5.718m/sec^2

The seatbelt across your chest should have about ______ fist width of slack
OLEGan [10]
The correct answer is option (c) i.e. one

<span>The seat belt across your chest should have about one fist width of the slack. Because the seat belt across your chest is required to have minimum fist width of the slack to hold the body in place and to avoid slamming of the body against the seat belt in case of a collision at high speeds. To have one fist width of the slack, makes it a safest to wear it in case of any collision. </span>
