The cheetah is one of the fastest accelerating animals, for it can go from rest to 34.5 m/s in 3.57 s. if its mass is 112 kg, determine the average power developed by the cheetah during the acceleration phase of its motion. express your answer in (a) watts and (b) horsepower.

a) 18670 W b) 25 hp

Explanation:

a)

Average power,

P = W/t

W= 0.5 MVf^2 - 0.5 MVo^2

Therefore P =( (0.5 x 112 x 34.5^2 ) - (0.5 x 112 x 0 ) ) / 3.57

P = 1.87 x 10^4 W

b)

Power in units of horsepower is

P = 1.87 x 10^4 / 745.7 = 25hp

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.

multiple allele inheritance is traits controlled by more than 2 alleles (ex: pigeons having 3 alleles of one gene govern their feather color).
