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 source vibrating at constant frequency generates a sinusoidal wave on a string under constant tension. If the power delivered
Serjik [45]

Answer:

n = 1,732    the amplitude must be increased by a factor of 1,732

Explanation:

The power delivered by a wave is given by

                  P = E / t

                  P = ½ μ w² v A²

let's apply this expression to our case the power tripled

                3P₀ = ½ μ w² v A’²

                 

let's write the amplitude function of a initial amplitude

               A ’= n A₀

where n is a number

               3 P₀ = (½ μy w² v  A₀²) n²

               3P₀ = P₀ n²

               n = √ 3

               n = 1,732

therefore the amplitude must be increased by a factor of 1,732

Genrish500 [490]
Hello!

During the forging process for a steel sword, when the blacksmith places a hot iron blank into a cold bucket water A) The water molecules move faster. 

The iron blank molecules are at a higher temperature and move faster than the water molecules, which are colder. When the blacksmith places the hot iron blank into the water bucket, heat is transferred from the hot iron blank to the cold water causing water molecules to move faster, as their temperature (and kinetic energy) increases. This is described by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

A child's toy consists of a spherical object of mass 50 g attached to a spring. One end of the spring is fixed to the side of th
Artemon [7]

Answer:

0.14 J

Explanation:

The maximum velocity is the amplitude times the angular frequency.

vmax = Aω

ω = vmax / A

ω = (3.2 m/s) / (0.06 m)

ω = 53.3 rad/s

For a spring-mass system:

ω = √(k / m)

ω² = k / m

k = ω²m

k = (53.3 rad/s)² (0.050 kg)

k = 142 N/m

The elastic potential energy is:

EE = ½ kx²

EE = ½ (142 N/m) (0.044 m)²

EE = 0.14 J

If a car moves with a uniform speed of 2m/s in a circle of radius 0.4m, what is its angular speed?
REY [17]

Answer:

The car's angular speed is \frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

Angular velocity is usually measured with \frac{radians}{sec}, so I'm going to use that to answer your question.

The relationship between tangential velocity and angular velocity (ω)  is given by:

V = \omega R

Using the values from the question, we get:

2 \frac{m}{s} = \omega (0.4m)

\omega = 5 \frac{rad}{s}

Therefore, the car's angular speed is 5 \frac{rad}{s}.

Hope this helped!
