Answer:
Where represent the force for each of the 5 cases
presented on the figure attached.
Explanation:
For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem
We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.
Th formula is given by:
Where G is a constant
represent the mass for the earth
represent the mass for the spaceship
represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship
For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.
Based on this case we can create the following rank:
Where represent the force for each of the 5 cases
presented on the figure attached.
(a) +2.60 m/s
The motion of the fish dropped by the seagul is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:
- a horizontal uniform motion, at constant speed
- a vertical motion, at constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, , downward)
In this part we are only interested in the horizontal motion. As we said the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its value when the fish reaches the ocean is equal to its initial value, which is the speed at which the seagull was flying (because it was flying horizontally):
(b) -17.2 m/s
The vertical component of the fish's velocity instead follows the equation:
where
is the initial vertical velocity, which is zero
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Since the fish reaches the ocean at t = 1.75 s, we can substitute this time into the formula to find the final vertical velocity:
where the negative sign indicates the direction (downward).
(c)
The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase
The vertical component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.
As we said from part (a) and (b):
- The horizontal component of the fish's velocity is constant during the motion and it is equal to the initial velocity of the seagull -> so if the seagull's initial speed increases, the horizontal velocity of the fish will increase too
- The vertical component of the fish's velocity does not depend on the original speed of the seagull, therefore it is not affected.
