A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of
1 answer:
Answer:
a) 27.3 m/s
b) 3.78 seconds
c) 10.576 seconds
Explanation:
Definitions: t = time elapsed, u = initial speed, v = final speed, s = distance covered, a = acceleration
a)
The gazelle's maximum velocity is calculated to be 27.3 m/s.
b)
It would take the gazelle 3.78 seconds to complete a 30-meter dash.
c)
The gazelle accelerates over a distance of 88.725 meters before maintaining constant speed.
Time = Distance divided by Speed
Total time for the gazelle to cover 200 meters equals 6.5 plus 4.076, resulting in 10.576 seconds.

To address this question, we will utilize concepts linked to centripetal force, aligning it with the static frictional force acting on the object. Using this relationship, we can derive the velocity and input the known values. The defined values are:
The maximum velocity can be determined using centripetal force,
Should be equal to,
As a result, the highest speed achievable through the arc without slipping is 9.93m/s
Let us denote as the highest acceleration of the truck by itself. The force generated by the engine to propel the truck in this scenario is
where m is the mass of the truck alone.
Upon attaching a bus that has double the mass of the truck, the total mass of the entire system (truck+bus) becomes (m+2m)=3m. In this situation, the force generated by the engine is
where a2 represents the new acceleration.
Since the engine remains unchanged, the force generated stays the same, allowing us to set the force equations equal to each other:
and solving for a2 gives us:
