Animal Athletes
Different animals have very different capacities for running. A horse can maintain a top speed of 20 m/s for a long distance but has a maximum acceleration of only 6.0 m/s2, half what a good human sprinter can achieve with a block to push against. Greyhounds, dogs especially bred for feats of running, have a top speed of 17 m /s, but their acceleration is much greater than that of the horse. Greyhounds are particularly adept at turning corners at a run.
Figure 1.1
In the photograph of the greyhounds in Figure I.1, what is the direction of the net force on each dog?
A. Up
B. Down
C. Left, toward the outside of the turn
D. Right, toward the inside of the turn

Ax =62 cm Ay =107 cm The student then moves the ramp so that Ay=128 cm. How far (Ax) will the ball now travel? Give your answer in centimeters to TWO (2) significant figures.arrow_forward
- 200 A Moving to another question will save this response. Question 14 Question 14 of 20 Save Answer A car is travelling at the speed of V m/s on a straight, level road. After the brakes are applied at t = 0, the motion can be approximated by s = (1/100)(t^3) - t^2 + 20t, where s is the distance traveled in meters, and t is the time in seconds. Determine the distance (meters) required for the car to stop. Round off 1 points to one decimal place. A Moving to another question will save this response. «< Question 14 of 20 29°C Rain sho...

- Galileo conducted an experiment where he rolled different balls down an inclined plane. Galileo determined that each ball traveled a distance that was directly proportional to the square of the time it traveled. What did Galileo conclude from this experiment? A. Air resistance affects all objects equally.B. All objects accelerate toward Earth at the same rate.C. Objects with greater mass accelerate toward Earth faster than less massive objects.D. The force of friction from the inclined plane causes a decrease in the acceleration of an object.arrow_forwardA car traveling in a circle with a uniform speed of 15 m/s means that the car travels a complete cycle around a circle with a circumference of ___.
