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

Answer:

Time of flight A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁ ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight A is greatest .

If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

$F_s = \mu_s N$

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

$F_k = \mu_k N$

now we know that

$\mu_k < \mu_s$

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N
