Suppose you studied the velocity of a cheetah overtime after it starts running to chase an deer. After the linear fit, a spreads

heet program gives you an equation y = 2.2 x + 1.2. You know from physics class that velocity and time can be modeled by the equation v = v0 + at. In this equation, v is velocity after time t, v0 is the velocity at zero time and a is acceleration during the same time interval. According to this model, what does the number 2.2 represents in the equation given by Excel? Group of answer choices Velocity after t. Velocity at t = 0 We cant tell without knowing what was plotted on the horizontal and vertical axes. Acceleration

Explanation:

While studying the velocity of a cheetah over time in a spreadsheet program is given by :

y = 2.2 x + 1.2 ...(1)

We know that,

v=v₀+at ...(2)

v₀ is velocity when t = 0, v is velocity after time t, a is acceleration and t is time.

If we consider time t on x-axis and v on y axis, then only we can draw a plot of equation (2). On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

a = 2.2 (but it is not correct as we don't know about axes).

Hence, the correct option is (a) "We cant tell without knowing what was plotted on the horizontal and vertical axes"

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.31 m and a spring constant of 220 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Kruka [31]
The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx

It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring. 

a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be 
<span>F = kx 
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N 
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.

A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle
tatiyna

Answer:

a) 17.8 m/s

b) 28.3 m

Explanation:

Given:

angle A = 53.0°

sinA = 0.8

cosA = 0.6

width of the river,d = 40.0 m,

the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp h = 15.0 m,

The river itself was 100 m below the ramp H = 100 m,

(a) find speed v

vertical displacement

-h= vsinA\times t-gt^2/2

putting values h=15 m, v=0.8

-15 = 0.8vt - 4.9t^2  ............. (1)

horizontal displacement d = vcosA×t = 0.6×v ×t

so v×t = d/0.6 = 40/0.6

plug it into (1) and get

-15 = 0.8\times40/0.6 - 4.9t^2

solving for t we get

t = 3.734 s

also, v = (40/0.6)/t = 40/(0.6×3.734) =  17.8 m/s

(b) If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?

v = 17.8/2 = 8.9 m/s

vertical displacement = -H =v sinA t - gt^2/2

⇒ 4.9t^2 - 8.9\times0.8t - 100 = 0

t = 5.30 s

then

d =v×cosA×t = 8.9×0.6×5.30= 28.3 m

Convection currents occur in fluids because of temperature and______ differences. Convection currents transfer ______ energy thr
Alex777 [14]

Solution: (i) Density (ii) thermal

Liquids at lower temperatures have greater density when compared to liquids at higher temperatures.This is because, at higher temperatures, molecules have greater kinetic energy and hence they are spaced farther apart, when compared to molecules at lower temperatures. Thus, the colder layers of liquids are heavier than the warmer layers, which causes then to move down due to gravity. For the same reason, the hotter layers move upwards through the liquid.

When a liquid is heated, the molecules closest to the heat source have greater energy, their density becomes less and they move upwards. The colder layers sink downwards. The layers of the liquid which were cold initially, get heated and they travel upwards. As the process repeats, convection currents are set up in the liquid.

These currents transfer the thermal energy derived from the source throughout the liquid. The process stops when the entire liquid is at the same temperature.

Thus, convection currents occur in liquids due to temperature and <u>density</u> differences. Convection currents transfer <u>thermal</u> energy throughout a fluid.
