Chapter 02, Problem 10 In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.26 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.62 km with an average velocity of 2.54 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.381 m/s due east.

An article explains that the locomotion of different-sized animals can be compared when they have the same Froude number, defined as F = gl velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/sec2) and I is the animal's leg length. (a) Different animals change from a trot to a gallop at the same Froude number, roughly 2.56. Find the velocity at which this change occurs for an animal with a leg length of 1.12 m. (b) Ancient footprints of a dinosaur are roughly 1.4 m in diameter, corresponding to a leg length of roughly 5.6 m. By comparing the stride divided by the leg length with that of various modern creatures, it can be determined that the Froude number for this dinosaur is roughly 0.025. How fast was the dinosaur traveling? (a) The velocity at which this animal changes change from a trot to a gallop is (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) where v is the animal's (...) m/sec.

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 20.0m/s in 2.50 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.8 m/s. Assume the acceleration is constant until the top speed is reached and is zero thereafter. Let the +x-direction point in the direction the cheetah runs. Express the cheetah's top speed vtop in miles per hour (mi/h).
