A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of

a gazelle assumes an acceleration of 4.2m/s2 for 6.5s , after which the gazelle CONTINUES at a steady speed.
a. What is the gazelles top speed?
b. A human would win a very short race with a gazelle. The best time for a 30 m sprint for a human runner is 3.6 s. How much time would the gazelle take for a 30 m race?

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

(a) 27.3 m/s

(b) 3.8 s

Explanation:

According to the question:

Acceleration,

a= 4.2 \ m/s^2

Time,

t = 6.5 \ s

(a)

The gazelles top speed will be:

⇒  V_{max} = at

             =4.2\times 6.5

             =27.3 \ m/s

or,

             = 27 \ m/s

(b)

As we know,

s = 30 m

Now,

⇒  s = \frac{1}{2} at^2

or,

⇒  t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }

On putting the given values, we get

       =\sqrt{\frac{2\times 30}{4.2} }

       =\sqrt{\frac{60}{4.2} }

       =3.78 \ s

or,

       =3.8 \ s

An archer shoots an arrow at a 75.0 m distant target; the bull’s-eye of the target is at same height as the release height of th
jeyben [28]

Answer:

the shooting angle ia 18.4º

Explanation:

For resolution of this exercise we use projectile launch expressions, let's see the scope

      R = Vo² sin (2θ) / g

      sin 2θ = g R / Vo²

      sin 2θ = 9.8 75/35²

      2θ = sin⁻¹ (0.6)

      θ = 18.4º

To know how for the arrow the tree branch we calculate the height of the arrow at this point

       X2 = 75/2 = 37.5 m

We calculate the time to reach this point since the speed is constant on the X axis

       X = Vox t

       t2 = X2 / Vox = X2 / (Vo cosθ)

        t2 = 37.5 / (35 cos 18.4)

        t2 = 1.13 s

With this time we calculate the height at this point

        Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

        Y = 35 sin 18.4   1.13 - ½ 9.8 1,13²

        Y = 6.23 m

With the height of the branch is 3.5 m and the arrow passes to 6.23, it passes over the branch

3. Suppose that you have an electrically charged stick. If you divide the stick in half, each half will have half the original c
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.  

I hope it helps you!

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.
