A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds. What was the cheetah’s average speed in miles per hour?

1 answer:

6 0

We will first convert feet to miles:
1 foot = 0.00018939 miles
300 foot = 0.056817 miles
Than seconds to hours:
2.92 seconds = 0.04867 minutes = 0.0008111 hours
Average speed :
v = d / t
v = 0.056817 miles / 0.008111 h
v = 70.05 miles per hour

One factor of x^3-3x^2-4x+12 is x+2. find the remaining factors

telo118 [61]

Dividing x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12 by x + 2 gives

x^2 -5x + 6

= (x - 3)(x - 2)

so remaining factors are x - 3 and x - 2 answer

You throw a bowling ball down an alley with speed v_0v 0 , and initially it slides without rolling. After a little while fri

Answer:

final speed after pure rolling is given as $R\omega = \frac{5}{7}v_0$

Explanation:

As we know that point of contact at ground is taken as reference then there is no external torque about this point on the ball

So we can use angular momentum conservation about this point

$L_i = L_f$

$L_i = mv_0R$

$L_f = \frac{7}{5}mR^2\omega$

so we have

$mv_0R = \frac{7}{5}mR^2\omega$

$R\omega = \frac{5}{7}v_0$

So final speed after pure rolling is given as $R\omega = \frac{5}{7}v_0$

From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ

Alexandra [31]

Approximately 15 m/s is the speed of the car.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

speed of sound - 343 m/s

You detect a frequency that is 0.959 times as small as the frequency emitted by the car when it is stationary. So, it can be written as,

$f^{\prime}=0.959 f$

$\frac{f^{\prime}}{f}=0.959$

If there is relative movement between an observer and source, the frequency heard by an observer differs from the actual frequency of the source. This changed frequency is called the apparent frequency. This variation in frequency of sound wave due to motion is called the Doppler shift (Doppler effect). In general,

$f^{\prime}=\left(\frac{v+v_{0}}{v-v_{s}}\right) \times f$
