An archerfish, peering from just below the water surface, sees a grasshopper standing on a tree branch that's just above the wat

er. The archerfish spits a drop of water at the grasshopper and knocks it into the water. The grasshopper's initial position is 0.45 m above the water surface and 0.25 m horizontally away from the fish's mouth. The launch angle of the drop is 63° with respect to the water surface. Anticipating that the grasshopper would do this, the archerfish decides to spit the water at a higher speed but at the same launch angle (63°). At what speed should the archerfish spit the water for the drop to hit the grasshopper?

Answer:

Explanation:

let the velocity of throw is u .

Time to reach horizontally .25 m is equal to reach .45 m vertically

t = .25 / u cos63

= .55 / u

For vertical motion

- h = - ut + 1/2 gt²

-.45 = -usin63 x .55 / u + .5 x9.8 (.55 / u )²

-.45 = - .49 + 1.48 / u²

.04 = 1.48 / u²

u² = 37

u = 6.08  m /s

Fofino [41]

Answer:

d = 2,042 10-3 m

Explanation:

The laser diffracts in the circular slit, so the process equation is

      d sin θ= m λ

The first diffraction minimum occurs for m = 1

We can use trigonometry in the mirror

        tan θ = Y / L

Where L is the distance from the Moon to Earth

Since the angle is extremely small

           tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

           Cos θ = 1

           tant θ = sin θ = y / L

We replace

           d y / L = λ

           d = λ L / y

Let's calculate

           d = 532 10⁻⁹ 3.84 10⁶/1 10³

           d = 2,042 10-3 m

Luda [366]

Answer:

86.5m

Explanation:

first convert km/h

then

81.4*1000/60*60=22.6

17.6*1000/60*60=4.89

then, x1/t1=x2/t2

we get

x2=400*4.89/22.6=86.5//
