The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.5 m/s in 2.50 s and

can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 28.5 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter.
Express the cheetah's top speed in mi/h.

Answer: 63.753 mph

Explanation:

28.5 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} * \frac{3600s}{1 hour} = 63.753 \frac{miles}{hour}

The height of a cone is increasing at a rate of 10 cm/sec and its radius is decreasing so that its volume remains constant. How
ki77a [65]

Answer:

dr/dt = -2 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h (1)

  • r is the radius
  • h is the height

Let's take the derivative with respect to time in each side of (1).

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^{2}h)=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left(2r\frac{dr}{dt}h+r^{2}\frac{dh}{dt} \right) (2)

We know that:

  • dh/dt = 10 cm / s (rate increasing of height)
  • dV/dt = 0 (constant volume means no variation with respect of time)
  • r = 4 cm
  • h = 10 cm

We can calculate how fast is the radius changing using the above information.

0=\frac{1}{3} \pi \left( 2\cdot 4\cdot \frac{dr}{dt} \cdot 10 + 4^{2}\cdot 10)\right  

Therefore dr/dt will be:

\frac{dr}{dt}=-\frac{160}{80}=-2 cm/s

The minus signs means that r is decreasing.

I hope it helps you!

A sail boat moves north for a distance of 10 km when blown by a wind 30° east of south with the force of 5.00×10^4 N. how much w
erma4kov [3.2K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a) 5.00 x 10^8 J

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The work done to move the sailboat is calculated through the equation;

W = F x d

where F is force and d is the distance.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

                             W = (5.00 x 10⁴ N)(10 km)(1000 m/ 1km)

                                 = 5.00 x 10⁸ J

Thus, the work done is <u>5.00 x 10⁸Joules</u>

What is the sound intensity level in decibels? Use the usual reference level of I0 = 1.0×10−12 W/m2.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

L = 130 decibels

Explanation:

The computation of the sound intensity level in decibels is shown below:

According to the question, data provided is as follows

I = sound intensity = 10 W/m^2

I0 = reference level = 1 \times 10-12 W/m^2

Now

Intensity level ( or Loudness)is

L = log10 \frac{I}{10}

L = log10 \frac{10}{1\times 10^{-12}}

L = log10 \times 1013

= 13 \times 1 ( log10(10) = 1)

Therefore  

L = 13 bel

And as we know that

1 bel = 10 decibels

So,

The  Sound intensity level is

L = 130 decibels

An astronaut drops a rock on the surface of an asteroid.The rock is released from rest at a height of 0.86 m above the ground, a
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a_y=0.92m/s^2

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the formula for accelerated motion:

y=y_0+v_{y0}t+\frac{a_yt^2}{2}

We will take the initial position as our reference (y_0=0m) and the downward direction as positive. Since the rock departs from rest we have:

y=\frac{a_yt^2}{2}

Which means our acceleration would be:

a_y=\frac{2y}{t^2}

Using our values:

a_y=\frac{2(0.86m)}{(1.37s)^2}=0.92m/s^2

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Energy conservation.

Explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that \Delta U=Q-W, which means that if we <u>substract the work W done</u> by the system to the <u>heat Q given</u> to the system we get the <u>change in the internal energy</u> \Delta U, so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.
