A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N

Two loudspeakers are placed side by side and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the two s
Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed

Why are we not able to see immediate after we enter a dark hall from a lighter place.
Kipish [7]
Technically this is a Biology question;

The 'amount' we can see depends on how much light can get through our pupil to hit our retina.
When there is a lot of light the pupil is small; it doesn't need to be big to let a lot of light in.
When we move to a dark space there is much less light, so the pupil 'dilates' to let enough light so we can see properly.
The period in which one cant see is simply when the pupil hasn't had time to change shape yet so doesn't let in enough light.<span />

A person of mass 70 kg stands at the center of a rotating merry-go-round platform of radius 2.9 m and moment of inertia 900 kg⋅m
Cloud [144]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of person, m = 70 kg

Radius of merry go round, r = 2.9 m

The moment of inertia, I_1=900\ kg.m^2

Initial angular velocity of the platform, \omega=0.95\ rad/s

Part A,

Let \omega_2 is the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge. We need to find it. It can be calculated using the conservation of angular momentum as :

I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2

Here, I_2=I_1+mr^2

I_1\omega_1=(I_1+mr^2)\omega_2

900\times 0.95=(900+70\times (2.9)^2)\omega_2

Solving the above equation, we get the value as :

\omega_2=0.574\ rad/s

Part B,

The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by :

k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}I_1\omega_1^2

k_i=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 900\times (0.95)^2

k_i=406.12\ rad/s

The final rotational kinetic energy is given by :

k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_1+mr^2)\omega_1^2

k_f=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (900+70\times (2.9)^2)(0.574)^2

k_f=245.24\ rad/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
