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

Which is considered computer storage
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Second Option

Explanation:

The "hard drive" or the second option is one of the main components of storing information on a computer. You already have a hard drive built into your computer, or laptop when you buy it, and you can buy additional hard drives in the form of plugins that can store even more data if your original hard drive becomes full of data.

Hope this helps.

A polarized light that has an intensity I0 = 60.0 W/m² is incident on three polarizing disks whose planes are parallel and cente
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The transmitted intensity through all polarizers is I_3 =41.31 W/m^2

Explanation:

 According to Malu's law the intensity of a polarized light having an initial intensity I_0 is mathematically represented as

               I = I_0cos^2 \theta

Now  considering the polarizer(The polarizing disk) the equation above becomes

          I = I_0 (cos^2 \theta)^n

Where n is the number of polarizers

       Substituting  60.0W/m^2 for the initial intensity 3 for the n and 20° for the angle of rotation

           I_3 = 60 (cos^220)^3

               =41.31 W/m^2

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total
Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>

<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>

A frog jumps for 4.0 seconds at a maximum horizontal distance of 0.8m. what is its velocity along the road?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The frog's horizontal velocity is 0.2 m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must first remember what velocity is and how we solve for it.  Velocity can be solved for using the formula x/t, where x represents horizontal distance and t represents time (in seconds), that it takes to travel this distance.  If we plug in the given numbers for these variables and solve, we get the following:

v = x/t

v = 0.8m/4s

v = 0.2 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2 m/s.  We can verify that these units are correct because the formula calls for distance divided by time, so meters per second is a sensible answer.

Hope this helps!
