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

Explain how a book can have energy even if it is not moving.
frutty [35]
Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).


Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).



Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
oee [108]
The best transition between the four options presented to represent a time when water molecules are moving closer together would be A. Frost forms on a window pane.

The closest distance that the water molecules can do is when the water is in the state of being solid. It is known that the solid state of matter has the closest distance from molecule to molecule that when a molecule tries to move, the others move as well creating a vibration and thus producing heat in the process. When they are in a liquid state, they are quite far from each other. In a gas state, they really are far from each. This explains the difference in their characteristics.

Thallium consists of 29.5%TI-203 and 70.5%TI-205. What is the relative atomic mass of thallium?
Kazeer [188]
Since you are referring to the TI-203 and TI-205, you need to know the actual masses of these two isotopes. TI-203 has 202.9723 amu  and TI-205 has 204.9744 amu. Since you are concluding that this Thallium have 29.5% (Ti-203) and 70.5% (Ti-205), you need to multiply the percentage to the actual masses of the isotopes. With that, you should be able to get 204.3833 amu
