Answer:

before this type of attack, high acceleration is the most important thing.

Explanation:

As the zebra is ambushed by the crocodile the most important thing is a quick reaction, in this attack the most likely is that the crocodile is in the water so it cannot run after the zebra.

Consequently, before this type of attack, high acceleration is the most important thing.

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration

Find the horizontal component and the vertical component ​
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

v=3.66,h-3.66

Explanation:

vertical = 10sin60 - 10sin 30

horizontal =10cos60 + 10cos 30

v = 10×0.8660-10×0.5

h = 10×0.5 + 10 × 0.8660

v=8.660-5.0 = 3.66

h= 5.0-8.660 = -3.66

El conductor de un tren que circula a 20 m/s ve un obstáculo en la vía y frena con una aceleración de 2 m/s2 hasta parar ¿cuánto
AlladinOne [14]
Velocidad inicial = 20 m/s
velocidad final = 0 m/s
aceleracion = -2 m/s^2

aceleracion = (cambio de velocidad)/(cambio de tiempo)
(cambio de tiempo)= (cambio de velocidad)/aceleracion
tiempo = (-20 m/s)/(-2 m/s^2)
= 10 segundos

x = (x(inicial)) + (v(inicial))(tiempo) + 1/2(aceleracion)(tiempo)^2
x(inicial) = 0
x = (20 m/s)(10 s) + 1/2 (-2m/s^2)(10 s)^2
x = 200 m - 100 m
x = 100 m (el espacio recorrido en los dos segundos)

espero que esto te ayude! buena suerte!
