Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s
v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m
Hi there!
Impulse = Change in momentum
I = Δp = mΔv = m(vf - vi)
Where:
m = mass of object (kg)
vf = final velocity (m/s)
vi = initial velocity (m/s)
Begin by converting grams to kilograms:
1 kg = 1000g ⇒ 145g = .145kg
Now, plug in the given values. Remember to assign directions since velocity is a vector. Let the initial direction be positive and the opposite be negative.
I = (.145)(-20 - 17) = -5.365 Ns
The magnitude is the absolute value, so:
|-5.365| = 5.365 Ns
Answer:
The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the lighter fragment 
Mass of the heavier fragment 
Speed of lighter fragment = 0.893c
We need to calculate the speed of the heavier fragment
Let v is the speed of the second fragment after decay
Using conservation of relativistic momentum













Hence, The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.
Given:
u = 0, initial speed (sprinter starts from rest)
v = 11.5 m/s, final speed
s = 15 m, distance traveled to attain final speed.
Let
a = average acceleration,
t = time taken to attain final speed.
Then
v² = u² + 2as
or
(11.5 m/s)² = 2*(a m/s²)*(15 m)
a = 11.5²/(2*15) = 4.408 m/s²
Also
v = u +a t
or
(11.5 m/s) = (4.408 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 11.5/4.408 = 2.609 s
Answer:
The average acceleration is 4.41 m/s² (nearest hundredth).
The time required is 2.61 s (nearest hundredth).
