Answer:

(a)  24.025 m/s. downward.

(b)  31 m

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion,

(a)

v = u + gt ................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, t = time.

Note: Let upward velocity be negative and downward be positive

Given: u = -0.5 m/s (upward), t = 2.5 s

Constant : g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

v = 0.5+9.81(2.5)

v = -0.5+24.525

v = 24.025 m/s. downward.

(b) using

s₁ = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 2

Where s₁ = distance at which the fish fall after being dropped by the pelican

Given: u = - 0.5 m/s, t = 2.5 s, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

s₁ = -0.5(2.5) + 1/2(9.81)(2.5)²

s₁ = -1.25+30.656

s₁ = 29.41 m

also,

s₂ = vt ................ Equation 3

Where s₂ = the distance by which the pelican rise during this time.

Given: v = 0.5 m/s, t= 2.5 s

s₂ = 0.5(2.5)

s₂ = 1.25 m.

Note: Distance between the pelican and fish = s₁ + s₂

Distance between the pelican and fish  = 29.41+1.25

Distance between the pelican and fish  = 30.66

Distance between the pelican and fish ≈ 31 m

The engine in your car is sometimes called: A. A 2-stroke engine
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Engines in car are 4 stroke engine . A 4-stroke engine is internal combustion engine which derives its power by four piston strokes . Internal combustion means combustion takes inside the engine i.e. is in cylinder.

There are process in 4 stroke engine

  • Intake: Intake of air
  • Compression:compression of intake air to a high pressure
  • Combustion:Fuel is injected and burned to get power
  • Exhaust:removal of exhaust gases after combustion

Describe and explain how the movement and arrangement of the particles in a block of ice change as the ice melts to form liquid
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Ice is water in solid phase, in this phase, the particles are very close together and relatively in fixed positions.

As the temperature starts to increase (thermal energy), also does the kinetic energy of the particles (so we have a change from thermal energy to kinetic energy), so they start to move "more", and the position of the particles starts to be less "fixed". There is a point where the particles have enough energy, and this point is where the phase of the water changes from solid to liquid phase (the fusion point). After this point the water can not hold his shape, and takes the shape of the container where it is.

An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all we shall find the velocity at equilibrium point of mass 1.2 kg .

It will be ω A , where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude .

ω = √ ( k / m )

= √ (170 / 1.2 )

= 11.90 rad /s

amplitude A = .045 m

velocity at middle point ( maximum velocity ) = 11.9 x .045 m /s

= .5355 m /s

At middle point , no force acts so we can apply law of conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) v

1.2 x .5355 = ( 1.2 + .48 ) x v

v = .3825 m /s

= 38.25 cm /s

Let new amplitude be A₁ .

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x v² = 170 x A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x .3825² = 170 x A₁²

A₁ = .0379 m

New amplitude is .0379 m
