A cheetah can run at a maximum speed 103 km/h and a gazelle can run at a maximum speed of 76.5 km/h. If both animals are running

at full speed, with the gazelle 99.3 m ahead, how long before the cheetah catches its prey?
Answer in units of s.


Part 2: The cheetah can maintain its maximum speed for only 7.5 s. What is the minimum distance the gazelle must be ahead of the cheetah to have a chance of escape? (After 7.5 s the speed of cheetah is less than that of the gazelle.)

Answer in units of m.

Answer:

1

 t_a  =  13.49 \  s

2

 The distance is   D = 55.2 \  m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The maximum speed of the cheetah is  v =  103 \  km/h =  28.61 \  m/s

    The maximum of  gazelle is  u =  76.5 \  km/h =  21.25 \  m/s

     The distance ahead is d =  99.3 \  m

Let  t_a denote the time which the cheetah catches the gazelle

Gnerally the equation representing the distance the cheetah needs to move in order to catch the gazelle is

           v* t_a = d +  u* t_a

=>          28.61 t_a = 99.3 +  21.25t_a

=>          7.36 t_a = 99.3

=>         t_a  =  13.49 \  s

Now at t =  7.5 s  

             7.5 v = D+  7.5u

=>          28.61 * 7.5  = D +  21.25* 7.5

=>          7.36 *  7.5 =D

=>         D = 55.2 \  m        

Hence the for the gazelle to escape the cheetah it must be 55.2 m

A man stands at the midpoint between two speakers that are broadcasting an amplified static hiss uniformly in all directions. Th
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The power of each of the speakers is 0.535 W. At a distance d intensity of sound can be found by the following formula

Intensity of sound =  Power / 4π d²

= .535 / 4 x 3.14 x (27.3/2)²

= 2.286 x 10⁻⁴ J m⁻² s⁻¹

Intensity of sound due to other source = 5.715 x 10⁻⁵J m⁻² s⁻¹

Total intensity = 2 x 2.286 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

= 4.57 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

b ) In this case, man is standing at distances 18.15 m and 9.15 m from the sources .

The total intensity of sound reaching him is as follows

0.535 / (4 π x18.15² ) + 0.535 /  (4 π x9.15² )

= 1.293 x 10⁻⁴ + 5.087 x 10⁻⁴

= 6.38 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

Which of the foolwing best define net force?
DochEvi [55]

Net force can be defined as the sum of force acting on an object in all the directions

.i.e Net force= F acting on a body at upward direction+ F at downward direction+ F at leftward direction+ F at rightward direction.

e.g if a body is at rest the sum of forces acting on body in all direction is zero

but if a body is moving its mean body is facing an unbalanced net force.

How do you find the speed of an object given its mass and kinetic energy (what is the formula)?
madam [21]
   v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"] ; 
        
and solve for "v".

______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
The formula is:  KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;
_____________________________________
  
"Kinetic energy" = (½) * (mass) * (velocity , "squared")
________________________________________________
Note:  Velocity is similar to speed, in that velocity means "speed and direction";  however, if you "square" a negative number, you will get a "positive"; since:  a "negative" multiplied by a "negative" equals a "positive".
____________________________________________
So, we have the formula:
___________________________________
KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  to solve for "(v)" ; velocity, which is very similar to                                          the "speed"; 
___________________________________________________
we arrange the formula ;
__________________________________________________
(KE) = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  ↔  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE) ; 
___________________________________________________

→ We have:  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE)  ; we isolate, "m" (mass) on one side of the equation:
______________________________________________________
   
→ We divide each side of the equation by: "[(½)* (m)]" ; 
___________________________________________________
    
           →   [ (½)*(m)*(v²) ] /  [(½)* (m)]  = (KE) / [(½)* (m)]<span> ;
</span>______________________________________________________
 to get: 
______________________________________________________
                           →   v²     =   (KE) / [(½)* (m)]
                     
                           →   v²     = 2 KE / m
_______________________________________________________
Take the "square root" of each side of the equation ;
_______________________________________________________
                          →  √ (v²)  =  √ { 2*(KE) ] / m }
________________________________________________________

                          →     v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"]; 
       
and solve for "v".
