Answer:

F= 1800N

Explanation:

the equation for force is F= ma

so plug in the numbers: F= (120)(15)

solve this to get F= 1800N

tip: don't forget to add the units when writing your answer :)

The cheetah is one of the fastest-accelerating animals, because it can go from rest to 16.2 m/s (about 36 mi/h) in 2.4 s. If its

<h2>Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the ratio of energy to time.

Here we need to consider kinetic energy,

Mass, m = 102 kg

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Final velocity = 16.2 m/s

Time, t = 2.4 s

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Initial velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 0² = 0 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Final velocity² = 0.5 x 102 x 16.2² = 13384.44 J

Change in energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Change in energy = 13384.44 - 0

Change in energy = 13384.44 J

Power = 13384.44 ÷ 2.4 = 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

Power of cheetah is 5576.85 W = 7.48 hp

A dragster race car can accelerate from rest to incredible speeds. In one case a dragster is able to finish the 305 m run in 3.6

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

45.89m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 305m

Time t = 3.64s

To get the acceleration during this run, we will apply the equation of motion:

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate the value of a

305 = 0+1/2 a(3.64)²

304 = 1/2(13.2496)a

304 = 6.6248a

a = 304/6.6248

a = 45.89m/s²

Hence the average acceleration during this run is 45.89m/s²

A driver averaged 64 mph and took 3½ hours to travel from st. Louis to chicago. Based on this, what is the distance between st.

sammy [17]

Average speed of the driver is given as

$v = 64 mph$

if he moved for total time t = 3.5 hours

so the distance between the tow is given as

$d = v* t$

$d = 64 * 3.5$

$d = 224 miles$

so the distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 224 miles

A helicopter flies with an air speed of 175 km/h, heading south. The wind is blowing at 85 km/h to the east relative to the grou

spayn [35]

Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

$x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} )$ = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)

At what water depth will a deep-water wave with a wavelength of 40 meters begin to "feel bottom"? 5 meters 15 meters 20 meters 1

ella [17]

The answer is 20 meters would be the water depth started to feel bottom. This is half of the wavelength. The reason behind this is the wave travels half or the partial of the wavelength underneath the surface. For that reason that is where the wave would be starting to feel the ground.
