Answer:

10.07m/s^2

Explanation:

Information we have:

velocities:

initial velocity: v_{i}=0mph (starts from rest)

final velocity: v_{f}=50mph

time:  t=2.22s

Since we need the answer in m/s^2, we nees to convert the speed to meters per second:

v_{f}=\frac{50miles}{1hour}(\frac{1hour}{3,600s} )(\frac{1609.34meters}{1mile} ) \\\\v_{f}=\frac{50*1609.34}{3600} m/s\\\\v_{f}=22.35m/s

We find the acceleration with the following formula:

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

substituting the known values:

a=\frac{22.35m/s-0m/s}{2.22s}\\ \\a=10.07m/s^2

the acceleration is 10.07m/s^2

Answer:

The acceleration of the Cheetah is found to be <u>10.07 m/s²</u>

Explanation:

We have the following data in this question:

Vf = Final Velocity of the Cheetah = 50 miles/hr

Vf = (50 miles/hr)(1 hr/ 3600 s)(1609.34 m/1 mile)

Vf = 22.35 m/s

Vi = Initial Speed of Cheetah = 0 m/s (Since, Cheetah starts from rest)

t = time interval passed = 2.22 s

So, in order to find the acceleration, we simply use the formula for acceleration, that is:

Acceleration = a = (Vf - Vi)/t

a = (22.35 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.22 s

<u>a = 10.07 m/s²</u>

The acceleration of the Cheetah is found to be <u>10.07 m/s²</u>

How do you transfer kinetic energy to electrical energy using a generator system
san4es73 [151]

Answer: so when a turbine converts the K.E and the potential of any moving fluid (more likely liquid or gas) to energy. once the proc is started the turbine generato, the fluid such as water, steam, combus gasses, or air pushes s big series of blades that have mounted on a shaft, which then will rotate the shaft that’s conn to the generator

Work done by a gravitational force by lowering the bucket into the well is
katovenus [111]

Answer:

when we lower a bucket into a well to fetch water, the work done by gravity is positive since force and displacement are in the same direction.

A boy with a mouse is 80 kg stands on a scale in an ascending elevator with an acceleration of 3 m/s What is the resultant upwar
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Upward force on the boy will be 1024 N      

Explanation:

We have given mass of the boy m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

It is given that elevator is ascending with acceleration of 3m/sec^2

So net acceleration on the boy = 9.8+3 = 12.8 m/sec^2 ( As the car elevator is moving ascending )

So upward force on the boy will be equal to F = m(g+a)

So F=80\times 12.8=1024N

So upward force on the boy will be 1024 N
