A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 15.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a)

Y0 = 0 m

Vy0 = 15 m/s

ay = -9.81 m/s^2

b) 7.71 m

c) 3.06 s

Explanation:

The knowns are that the initial vertical speed (at t = 0 s) is 15 m/s upwards. Also at that time the dolphin is coming out of the water, so its initial position is 0 m. And since we can safely assume this happens in Earth, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 pointing downwards

Y(0) = 0 m

Vy(0) = 15 m/s

ay = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative because it points down)

Since acceleration is constant we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

To find the highest point we do the first time derivative (this is the speed:

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We equate this to zero

0 = Vy0 + a * t

0 = 15 - 9.81 * t

15 = 9.81 * t

t = 0.654 s

At this time it will have a height of:

Y(0.654) = 0 + 15 * 0.654 - 1/2 * 9.81 * 0.654^2 = 7.71 m

The doplhin jumps and falls back into the water, when it falls again it position will be 0 again. So we can equate the position to zero to find how long it was in the air knowing that it started the jump at t = 0s.

0 = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

0 = 0 + 15 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 t^2

0 = 15 * t - 4.9 * t^2

0 = t * (15 - 4.9 * t)

t1 = 0 This is the moment it jumped into the air

0 = 15 - 4.9 * t2

15 = 4.9 * t2

t2 = 3.06 s This is the moment when it falls again.

3.06 - 0 = 3.06 s

: Does increasing temperature increase pressure?
Vesnalui [34]
Yes, an increase in temperature is accompanied by an increase in pressure. Temperature is the measurement of heat present and more heat means more energy. Molecules in hotter temperatures move faster and more often, eventually moving into the gaseous phase. The molecules would fill the container, and the hotter it got the more they would bounce off the walls, pushing outward, increasing the pressure.
I suppose you could measure this with some kind of loosely inflated balloon and subject it to different temperatures and then somehow measure the size/pressure of it.

ivann1987 [24]

An object has undergone acceleration if ...

-- it's moving faster than it was before
or
-- it's moving slower than it was before
or
-- it's moving in a different direction that it was before.
