Answer:
a) 9.99 s
b) 538 m
c) 20.5 s
d) 1160 m
Explanation:
Given:
x₀ = 0 m
y₀ = 49.0 m
v₀ = 113 m/s
θ = 60.0°
aₓ = 0 m/s²
aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²
a) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s. Find t.
vᵧ = aᵧ t + v₀ᵧ
(0 m/s) = (-9.8 m/s²) t + (113 sin 60.0° m/s)
t ≈ 9.99 s
b) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s. Find y.
vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2aᵧ (y − y₀)
(0 m/s)² = (113 sin 60° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 49.0 m)
y ≈ 538 m
c) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m. Find t.
y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²
(0 m) = (49.0 m) + (113 sin 60° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
You'll need to solve using quadratic formula:
t ≈ -0.489, 20.5
Since negative time doesn't apply here, t ≈ 20.5 s.
d) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m. Find x. (Use answer from part c).
x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²
x = (0 m) + (113 cos 60° m/s) (20.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20.5 s)²
x ≈ 1160 m
The average speed of a cheetah that runs 140 meters in 5 seconds is calculated by dividing the distance by time, which equals 28 m/s.
To calculate the average speed of a cheetah running a distance of 140 meters in 5 seconds, we use the formula for average speed which is:
Average Speed = Distance / Time
Substituting the given values of distance and time in this equation, we get:
Average Speed = 140 meters / 5 seconds
Solving this, we obtain the average speed of the cheetah as 28 m/s.
The average speed is a scalar, meaning we do not include direction in the answer. For comparison purposes, the speed of a typical automobile might be around 15 m/s.

Whenever the motion (speed or direction) of an object changes, we say that acceleration has occurred. From Newton's First Law of Motion, we know that force has been applied to the object.
