Answer:
71.85 m/s
Explanation:
Given the following :
Length of skid marks left by jaguar (s) = 290 m
Skidding Acceleration (a) = - 8.90m/s²
Final velocity of jaguar (v) = 0
Speed of Jaguar before it Began to skid =?
Hence, initial speed of jaguar could be obtained using the formula :
v² = u² + 2as
Where
v = final speed of jaguar ; u = initial speed of jaguar(before it Began to skid) ; a = acceleration of jaguar ; s = distance /length of skid marks left by jaguar
0² = u² + (2 × (-8.90) × 290)
0 = u² + (-5,162)
u² = 5162
Take the square root of both sides
u = √5162
u = 71.847 m/s
u = 71.85m/s
When a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star.This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas & dust.
