The froghopper, Philaenus spumarius, holds the world record for insect jumps. When leaping at an angle of 58.0 above the horizon

tal, some of the tiny critters have reached a maximum height of 52.7 above the level ground.
A)What was the takeoff speed for such a leap? v= 3.79m/s
B) What horizontal distance did the froghopper cover for this world-record leap?

Answer:

A) 3.79 m/s  B) 1.33 m

Explanation:

A)

  • Horizontal movement:
  • Once in the air, no forces act on the froghopper, so it keeps moving with the same initial horizontal speed.
  • This horizontal component, is the projection of the velocity vector on the horizontal direction (x-axis):

        v_{ox} = v_{o} *cos (58.0 deg)

  • The horizontal displacement can be simply calculated as follows:

        x = v_{ox} *t

  • Vertical movement:
  • As the vertical and horizontal are independent each other (due to they are perpendicular, so there is no projection of one movement on the other), in the vertical direction, all happens as if would be a body thrown upward with a given initial vertical velocity.
  • This velocity can be found as the projection of the velocity vector on the vertical direction (y-axis):

        v_{oy} = v_{o} *sin (58.0 deg) (1)

  • Once in the air, the gravity will cause that the froghopper be slow down, till it reaches to the maximum height, where it will come momentarily to an stop.
  • In that moment, we can apply the following kinematic equation:

        v_{fy} ^{2} -v_{oy} ^{2} = 2*g*h_{max}

  • where vfy = 0, g = -9.8m/s2, hmax = 52.7 cm= 0.527 m
  • Replacing by the givens, we can solve for voy:

        v_{oy} =\sqrt{2*g*h_{max}} = \sqrt{2*9.8m/s2*0.527m} =3.21 m/s

  • From the equation (1), we can solve for the magnitude of the initial velocity, v₀:

        v_{o} = \frac{v_{oy}}{sin 58.0} =\frac{3.21m/s}{0.848} = 3.79 m/s

B)

  • With the value of the magnitude of the initial velocity, we can find the horizontal component vox, as follows:

        v_{ox} = v_{o} *cos (58.0 deg) =\\  \\ 3.79 m/s * cos (58.0deg) = 2.01 m/s

  • In order to know the horizontal distance travelled, we need to find the time that the insect was in the air.
  • We can use the equation for the vertical displacement, replacing this value by 0, as follows:

       y = 0 = v_{oy} *t -\frac{1}{2} * g *t^{2}

  • Replacing by  the givens, and rearranging terms, we can solve for t:

        t_{air} =\frac{2*v_{oy} }{g} = \frac{2*3.21 m/s}{9.8 m/s} = 0.66 s

  • Finally, we find the horizontal displacement, as follows:

       x_{max}  = v_{ox} *t_{air} = 2.01 m/s * 0.66 s \\ \\ x_{max} = 1.33 m

  • The horizontal distance covered by  the froghopper was 1.33 m.

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

b)

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

c

 Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation  is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.

Find the resultant vector (mag. and dir.) given the following information: Ax = 5.7, Ay = 3.4
Mashcka [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Magnitude = 6.64

  Direction = 30.82^0 from horizontal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

 We have horizontal component of vector Ax = 5.7 and vertical component of vector Ay = 3.4.

 Magnitude of vector acting perpendicularly = \sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2}

 Substituting

    A=\sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2} =\sqrt{5.7^2+3.4^2} =6.64

Direction θ = tan^{-1}(\frac{A_y}{A_x} )

  Substituting

      θ =tan^{-1}(\frac{A_y}{A_x} )= tan^{-1}(\frac{3.4}{5.7})=30.82^0
