A gazelle runs past a cheetah crouching below the grass on the planes of the savanna. When the gazelle is 4.00m past the cheetah, the cheetah begins to accelerate from rest at a rate of 12.0 m/s2 toward the running gazelle. The gazelle runs at a constant speed of 14.0 m/s.a. How much time does it take the cheetah to reach the gazelle after beginning to accelerate?b. How far does the cheetah run before reaching the gazelle?c. How fast is the cheetah moving when it reaches the gazelle?

If you threw the ball 4.98m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 33.78cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height? INCLUDE ILLUSTRATION PLEASE
Two 47. identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground? 48. mmh An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its accel- eration due to gravity.

*23. Two motorcycles are traveling due east with different velocities. However, four seconds later, they have the same velocity. During this four-second interval, cycle A has an average acceleration of 2.0 m/s² due east, while cycle B has an average acceleration of 4.0 m/s² due east. By how much did the speeds differ at the beginning of the four-second inter- val, and which motorcycle was moving faster?
