The recycling of glass, plastic, and metal would highly reduce the amount of the waste being sent to the local landfill. The large plastic container, fiberboards, etc, are removed by hand for this. This sorting makes it easy to recycle and reuse the plastic and fiber materials.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
natta225 [31]

Answer:

5.0 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

v_x = u cos \theta

where u is the initial speed and \theta=37.7^{\circ}. The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

d=v_x t = (ucos \theta)t

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.

Re-arranging for t,

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{d}{u cos \theta} (1)

Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

y=h+u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where:

y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon

h = 0 is the initial height

u_y = u sin \theta is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

y=(u sin \theta) \frac{d}{u cos \theta}- \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

y=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{gd^2}{2(dtan \theta -y)cos^2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.81)(1.95)^2}{2((1.95)(tan 37.7^{\circ}) -0.311)cos^2 37.7^{\circ}}}=5.0 m/s

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.685 m/s in 21.5 ms. The total mass of the train is 875
Natali [406]

Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2

So the force exerted  by the motor is:

F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N

The work done by the motor is given by:

W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m

W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J

And finally, the power is given by:

P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec
