Answer:

c.

5 m/s2

Explanation:

Δv = at

a = Δv/t

a = (0 - 25)/5

a = 5 m/s²

Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hour in 2.22 s starting from rest. Assuming that they have constan

elena55 [62]

Answer:

$10.07m/s^2$

Explanation:

Information we have:

velocities:

initial velocity: $v_{i}=0mph$ (starts from rest)

final velocity: $v_{f}=50mph$

time: $t=2.22s$

Since we need the answer in $m/s^2$ , we nees to convert the speed to meters per second:

$v_{f}=\frac{50miles}{1hour}(\frac{1hour}{3,600s} )(\frac{1609.34meters}{1mile} ) \\\\v_{f}=\frac{50*1609.34}{3600} m/s\\\\v_{f}=22.35m/s$

We find the acceleration with the following formula:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

substituting the known values:

$a=\frac{22.35m/s-0m/s}{2.22s}\\ \\a=10.07m/s^2$

the acceleration is 10.07 $m/s^2$

As shown in the picture above, a sled of mass 67 kilograms is pulled

Scorpion4ik [409]

Explanation:

F net of sled = Tension force by rope - Kinetic friction between ground.

F normal of sled = mg = (67kg)(9.81kg/m^2) = 657.27N.

Kinetic friction = 0.18 (I cannot see the value) * Normal force of sled = 0.18 * 657.27N = 118.31N

So F net of sled = 800N - 118.31N = 681.69N.

(I cannot see what the question is asking for, please check on your own!)

Interactive LearningWare 10.1 reviews the concepts involved in this problem. A spring stretches by 0.0161 m when a 3.74-kg objec

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

m = 3.91 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 3.74 kg

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.0161 m

The frequency of vibration, f = 3.84 Hz

When the object is suspended, the gravitational force is balanced by the spring force as :

$mg=kx$

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{3.74\times 9.8}{0.0161}$

k = 2276.52 N/m

The frequency of vibration is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

$m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}$

$m=\dfrac{2276.52}{4\pi^2\times (3.84)^2}$

m = 3.91 kg

So, the mass of the object is 3.91 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
