Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Dolphin leaps out an angle \theta =36.6^{\circ}

Horizontal component of dolphin velocity u_x=7.87\ m/s

Suppose u is the launch velocity of dolphin

therefore u\cos \theta =u_x---1

and vertical velocity u_y=u\sin \theta ----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\tan \theta =\frac{u_y}{u_x}

u_y=u_x\tan \theta

u_y=7.87\cdot \tan (36.6)

u_y=5.84\ m/s

a 2000 kg truck is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s. What velocity must a 1000 kg car have in order to have the same momentum a
Molodets [167]

The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N

Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.

Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car

60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car

Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s

So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

A normal human heart, beating about once per second, creates a maximum 4.00 mV potential across 0.400 m of a person's chest, pro
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The maximum electric field strength = 0.01 V/m

Explanation:

Given

ΔV(max) = 4.00 mV = 0.004 V

d = 0.400 m

f = 1.00 Hz

Maximum electric field = (maximum potential)/(length)

Maximum electric field = E(max)

Maximum potential = 4.00 mV = 0.004 V

Length = 0.400 m

E(max) = (0.004/0.4) = 0.01 V/m

Hope this Helps!!!

An open cart is rolling to the left on a horizontal surface. A package slides down a chute and lands in the cart. Which quantity
Marat540 [252]

Answer: the horizontal component of total momentum

Explanation:

Since the open cart is rolling to the left on the horizontal surface, the quantity that has the same value just before and just after the package lands in the cart is the horizontal component of total momentum.

Momentum, is the product of the mass of a particle and the velocity of the particle. The change of momentum depends on the force which acts on it. The addition of the the individual momenta is the total momentum.
