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

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

In this problem, you will practice applying this formula to several situations involving angular acceleration. In all of these s

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

$\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}$

Part b)

$\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}$

Explanation:

As we know that the see saw bar is massless so here torque due to two masses is given as

$\tau = I\alpha$

here we will have

$\tau = (m_1g - m_2g)(\frac{L}{2})$

now we will have inertia of two masses given as

$I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2$

now we have

$I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4}$

now the angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

so we have

$\alpha = \frac{2(m_1 - m_2)g}{(m_1 + m_2)L}$

Part b)

Now if the rod is not massles then we will have total inertia given as

$I = (m_1 + m_2)(\frac{L}{2})^2 + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}$

so we will have

$I = (m_1 + m_2)\frac{L^2}{4} + \frac{m_{bar}L^2}{12}$

now the acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{6(m1 - m_2)g}{3(m_1 + m_2)L + m_{bar}L}$

Which statement provides the best description of a computational model?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Computation modeling is used as the software for math, physics, or software engineering in the simulation and study of complicated processes. The software framework incorporates many parameters, that characterize the model under study. It is a computer program, in which the mathematical formula is generated by computers and research complex systems.
