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>

Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6
