Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. In a typical strike, the chameleon'

s tongue accelerates at a remarkable 260 m/s2 for 20 ms, then travels at constant speed for another 30 ms. During this total time of 50 ms, 1/20 of a second, how far does the tongue reach?

Chameleon's tongue is more fast than thought. Its long sticky tongue moves at an amazing ballistic speed which lashes out unsuspecting insects and bugs. Now let us see how fast it is.

GIven:

acceleration of the chameleon's tongue- 260 m/s
2 for 20 ms
constant speed 30 ms
50 ms total time
1/20 of a second

solution:

<u>260</u> = <u>  n</u><u>  </u>
20       50
<u>20 n </u>= <u>13, 000</u>
20            20
n= 650 m/s

A force on a particle depends on position such that F(x) = (3.00 N/m2)x2 + (6.00 N/m)x for a particle constrained to move along
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J.

Explanation:

A force on a particle depends on position constrained to move along the x-axis, is given by,

F(x)=(3\ N/m^2)x^2+(6\ N/m)x

We need to find the work done on a particle that moves from x = 0.00 m to x = 2.00 m.

We know that the work done by a particle is given by the formula as follows :

W=\int\limits {F{\cdot} dx}

W=\int\limits^2_0 {(3x^2+6x){\cdot} dx} \\\\W={(x^3}+3x^2)_0^2\\\\\W={(2^3}+3(2)^2)\\\\W=20\ J

So, the work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

What advantage do space telescopes have over telescopes used on earth?
Elina [12.6K]
Earth's atmosphere blocks many types of light including gamma, x-rays most ultraviolet and infrared. So optical telescopes that use visible light and ultraviolet telescopes that are used to study very hot stars are much less effective on Earth.

A ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure
klasskru [66]

Answer:

3x_0

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

d=v_x t

where

v_x is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

d=v_0 t = x_0

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

v_x' = 3v_0

And so the new distance travelled will be

d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.
