The average acceleration of the cheetah is 7.75 m/s²

The given parameters;

velocity of the cheetah, v = 31 m/s

time of motion, t = 4 seconds

The average acceleration of the cheetah is calculated as follows;

$Average \ acceleration = \frac{\Delta velocity}{\Delta time } \\\\Average \ acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t}$

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time of motion

Assuming the cheetah started from rest, the initial velocity, u = 0

The average acceleration is calculated as follows;

$Average \ acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t} = \frac{31-0}{4} = 7.75 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the average acceleration of the cheetah is 7.75 m/s²

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS squared what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and wh

Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²

Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.

So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\v=u+at\\\\v=0+0.5\times 120\\\\v=60\ m/s$

Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(60)^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\d=3600\ m$

So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>
