If the archerfish spits its water 60. degrees from the horizontal aiming at an insect 2.0 m above the surface of the water, how

fast must the fish spit the water to hit its target? The insect is at the highest point of the trajectory of the spit water. Use g = 10. m/s2.

<span>Using the kinematic equations below, we can calculate the initial velocity required. Angle of projectile = 60 degrees Acceleration due to gravity (Ay) = -10 m/s^2 (negative because downward) Height of projectile (Dy) = 2m Vfy^2=Voy^2 +2*Ay*Dy Vfy = 0 m/s because the vertical velocity slows to zero at the height of its trajection. So... 0 = Voy^2 + 2(-10)(2) 0 = Voy^2 - 40 40 = Voy^2 Sqrt40 = Voy 6.32 m/s = Voy THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER. THIS IS JUST THE INITIAL VELOCITY IN THE Y DIRECTION. Using trigonometry, Tan 60 = Voy/Vox. Tan 60 = 6.32/Vox. Vox*Tan 60 = Vox Vox = 10.95 m/s. Now, using Vox = 10.95 and Voy = 6.32, we can use pythagorean theorem to find the total Vo. A^2 +B^2 = C^2 10.95^2 + 6.32^2 = C^2 Solving for C = 12.64 m/s This is the velocity required to hit the surface. You can also calculate a bunch of other stuff now using the other kinematic equations. V = 12.64 m/s</span>

Answer: To hit the target fish must spit with the velocity of 7.30 m/s.

Explanation:

Highest point of the trajectory = H = 2 m

Angle at which archer fish spit = θ = 60°

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 10 m/s^2

The maximum height of the projectile is given as:

H=\frac{u^2\sin^2\theta }{2g}

2 m=\frac{u^2\sin^2(60^o)}{2\times 10 m/s^2}

\sin 60^o=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

u^2=\frac{2 m\times 2\times 10 m/s^2\times 4}{3}=53 m^2/s^2

u=7.30 m/s

To hit the target fish must spit with the velocity of 7.30 m/s.

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 390\ W/m.^{\circ}C

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}

where

\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}

where

L_{w} = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g

When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the ______________ of the wave to
Alex
I think the corect answer would be C. When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the frequency of the wave to measure the Doppler Effect. As the speed of a vehicle increases, the greater the change of the frequency of the waves would be transmitted to the radar guns which is being used by the police officer. Doppler effect is an effect that is observed in sound and light waves as these waves move away or to the direction of the observer. This is being used in many applications like in astronomy, weather balloons, the radar guns,and for underwater researches.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

I = 16.7kgm²

Explanation:

Since, Torque is given by,

\tau = F*r = I*\alpha

here, I = Moment of inertia = ??

\alpha = angular acceleration of wheel = a/r

F = tangential tension acting on the wheel = T

a = acceleration of bag of sand = 2.95 m/s^2

r = radius of wheel = d/2 = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.60 m

from force balance on sand bag,

mg - T = m*a

T = m*(g-a)

m = mass of sand bag = 20 kg

So, I = T*r/\alpha = m*(g-a)*r/(a/r)

Using known values:

I = 20*(9.81 - 2.95)*0.60/(2.95/0.60) = 16.74

I = 16.7 kgm² = Moment of inertia of wheel experimentally

also, Moment of inertia of wheel theoretically(I') = M*r²

given, M = mass of wheel = 70 kg

I' = 70*0.60²= 25.2 kgm² = Moment of inertia of wheel theoretically
