3. a cheetah is known to be the fastest mammal on earth, at least for short
runs. cheetahs have been observed running a distance of 5.50 x 102 m
with an average speed of 1.00 x 10 km/h.
a. how long would it take a cheetah to cover this distance at this speed?
b. suppose the average speed of the cheetah were just 85.0 km/h.
what distance would the cheetah cover during the same time inter-
val calculated in (a)?

The time taken for the cheetah to cover the distance of 5.50×10² m and the distance covered by the cheetah during the same time interval at an average speed of 85.0 km/h are:

1. The time taken for the cheetah to cover the distance of 5.50×10² m is 197.8 s.

2. The distance covered by the cheetah during the same time interval at an average speed of 85.0 km/h is 4670.06 m.

Average speed is obtained by dividing the total distance by the total time taken to cover the distance.

$Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{total time} \\\\$

1. Determination of the time taken for cheetah to cover the distance of 5.50×10² m.

Average speed = 10 Km/h = 10 / 3.6 = 2.78 m/s

Distance = 5.50×10²

Time =?

$Time = \frac{Distance}{average speed } \\\\Time = \frac{5.50*10^{2}}{2.78}$

Time = 197.8 s

Thus, the time taken for cheetah to cover the distance of 5.50×10² m is 197.8 s

2. Determination of the distance covered by the cheetah during the same time interval.

Time = 197.8 s

Average speed = 85 Km/h = 85 / 3.6 = 23.61 m/s

Distance =?

Distance = Average speed × Time

Distance = 23.61 × 197.8

Distance = 4670.06 m

Thus, the distance covered by the cheetah during the same time interval is 4670.06 m

Answers:

a) 198,55 s

b) 4687.98 m

Explanation:

a) Speed is defined as the variation of the position (distance traveled )of a body or object with time :

$v=\frac{d}{t}$ (1)

We are told the cheetah runs a distance of $d=5.50(10)^{2}m=550m$ with a speed $v=10\frac{km}{h}=2.77\frac{m}{s}$ (Knowing 1km=1000m and 1h=3600s ), and we need to find the time it takes to travel that distance.

This means we have to find from (1):

$t=\frac{d}{v}$ (2)

$t=\frac{550m}{2.77\frac{m}{s}}$ (3)

t=198.55s (4)

b) Now, if we want to know the distance the cheetah will cover with $v=85\frac{km}{h}=23.61\frac{m}{s}$ in t=198.55s , we have to isolate from (1):

d=v.t (5)

$d=(23.61\frac{m}{s})(198.55s)$ (6)

Finally:

d=4687.98m

An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x,y)=(0,0). a large, flat screen is located at x=l. there is a target on the screen at y position y(h), where y(h) > 0. in this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. ignore gravity in this problem. 1.assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive x direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l. 2.now assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive y direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive x direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l.
