If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.550 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?

1 answer:

7 0

Let u = upward initial speed of the flea.

At the maximum height of h = 0.550 m, the vertical velocity is v = 0.
Therefore, from the formula
v² = u² - 2gh,
obtain
0 = u² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(0.55 m)
u² = 10.78 m²/s²
u = 3.283 m/s

Answer: The initial upward speed is 3.28 m/s (nearest thousandth)

An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. The heavie

leva [86]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply conservation of the moment and conservation of energy.

By conservation of the moment we know that

$MV=mv$

Where

M=Heavier mass

V = Velocity of heavier mass

m = lighter mass

v = velocity of lighter mass

That equation in function of the velocity of heavier mass is

$V = \frac{mv}{M}$

Also we have that $m/M = 1/7 times$

On the other hand we have from law of conservation of energy that

$W_f = KE$

Where,

W_f = Work made by friction

KE = Kinetic Force

Applying this equation in heavier object.

$F_f*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2$

$\mu M*g*S = \frac{1}{2}MV^2$

$\mu g*S = \frac{1}{2}( \frac{mv}{M})^2$

$\mu = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{7}v)^2$

$\mu = \frac{1}{98}v^2$

$\mu = \frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2$

Here we can apply the law of conservation of energy for light mass, then

$\mu mgs = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Replacing the value of $\mu$

$\frac{1}{g(98)(5.1)}v^2 mgs = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Deleting constants,

$s= \frac{(98*5.1)}{2}$

$s = 249.9m$

The primary coil of a transformer is connected to a 120 v wall outlet. the secondary coil is connected to a lamp that dissipates

Lyrx [107]

Energy/power is not gained or lost going through a (ideal) transformer.

So the transformer in this problem really doesn't matter. If the lamp is using energy at the rate of 60 watts, then the whole contraption is getting 60 watts of power from the wall outlet.

Power = (voltage) x (current)

60 watts = (120 v) x (current)

Current = (60 watts) / (120 v)

<em>Current = 0.5 Ampere</em>

What best describes the angle between a changing electric field and the electromagnetic wave produced by it?

MrRa [10]

The correct ans is 1.

A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field which in turn produces a changing electric field. This means that the source has created a changing electric and magnetic fields, perpendicular to each other, that travel away from the source. Electric field, magnetic field and the EM wave are perpendicular to each other. This gives electromagnetic waves their transverse nature.
