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

What type of relationship exists between acceleration and mass?
likoan [24]
Here, you can derive that by numerical method, as follows:
F = m.a
m = F/a

So, here we can see when we decrease one, other increase by same effect; we can say they are "Indirectly Proportional" to each other!

Hope this helps!

Metals are used in many products because of the characteristic properties that most metals share. Which properties of the metal
Anastaziya [24]

The most important characteristics that are exhibited by metals are-

1- Metals are ductile

2-Most metals are conductive in nature.

3-Most metals are malleable.

4- Metals have strong inter molecular force of attraction between the.

5-Metals have luster.

6-Metals are sonorous.

Here we are given Tungsten filament.

Tungsten is  a metal.So it must be conductive and as well as ductile in nature.

The electric filament that we are using in our electric bulb glows due to the heating effect of current.Hence the chosen substances for glowing electric bulb must have high melting point.

The melting point of tungsten is 1650 degree celsius which is very high.That's why it is used in electric bulb.

Hence the correct answer to the question is the third one i.e Tungsten is ductile,has a high melting point, and is electrically conductive.

A cyclical heat engine, operating between temperatures of 450º C and 150º C produces 4.00 MJ of work on a heat transfer of 5.00
gogolik [260]

Answer:

(a) Heat transfer to the environment is: 1 MJ and (b) The efficiency of the engine is: 41.5%

Explanation:

Using the formula that relate heat and work from the thermodynamic theory as:W=Q=Q_{in}-Q_{out} solving to Q_out we get:Q_{out}=Q_{in}-W=5(MJ)-4(MJ)=1(MJ) this is the heat out of the cycle or engine, so it will be heat transfer to the environment. The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle gives us: n=1-\frac{T_{Low} }{T_{High}} where T_Low is the lowest cycle temperature and T_High the highest, we need to remember that a Carnot cycle depends only on the absolute temperatures, if you remember the convertion of K=°C+273.15 so T_Low=150+273.15=423.15 K and T_High=450+273.15=723.15K and replacing the values in the equation we get:n=1-\frac{423.15}{723.15} =0.415=41.5%
