A 60-kg cheetah reaches a speed of 30 m/s as it chases its prey.What is the kinetic energy of the cheetah?

2 answers:

7 0

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2
= (1/2)(60)(30^ 2)
KE = 27,000 Joules

*just a reminder when you are solving for kinetic energy you have to make sure that the mass is given in kg and the velocity is given in m/sec.

hope this helps :)

The answer would be 27,000 Joules because (1/2) m v^2 =30*900 which equals 27,000 J

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300

Vinvika [58]

The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
$\eta = 1- \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}$
where
$T_{cold}$ is the temperature of the cold region
$T_{hot}$ is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have $T_{cold}=300 K$ and $T_{hot}=400 K$ , so the efficiency is
$\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25$

Which statement is true about a falling object? (Assume no

vladimir2022 [97]

I would say the answer is 3 because by falling technically the ball would be kind of moving in the air. Plus potential energy is when for example a soccer ball isnt moving

A machine accelerates a 5 kg missile from rest to a speed of 5 km/s. The net force accelerating the missile 500,000 N. How long

Gnoma [55]

Final velocity = 5km/sec = 5000 m/sec
Initial velocity = 0, mass = 5kg and force = 500,000 N
F = m(Vf-Vi)/time
Time = m(Vf-Vi)/force = 5*5000/500000 = 0.05 seconds
So, it takes 0.05 sec to arrive at the speed of 5km/s.

What is the practical applications of radio waves

Keith_Richards [23]

Radio waves have many uses—the category is divided into many subcategories, including microwaves and electromagnetic waves used for AM and FM radio, cellular telephones and TV.

The lowest commonly encountered radio frequencies are produced by high-voltage AC power transmission lines at frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. These extremely long wavelength electromagnetic waves (about 6000 km) are one means of energy loss in long-distance power transmission.

Extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves of about 1 kHz are used to communicate with submerged submarines. The ability of radio waves to penetrate salt water is related to their wavelength (much like ultrasound penetrating tissue)—the longer the wavelength, the farther they penetrate. Since salt water is a good conductor, radio waves are strongly absorbed by it; very long wavelengths are needed to reach a submarine under the surface.

HOPE THIS REALLY HELPS YOU.
THANK YOU.
