To reach a vertical height of 13.8 ft against gravity, which has an acceleration of 32 ft/s^2, the required vertical speed can be calculated from the equation:
vi^2 - vf^2 = 2*g*h
Given that it has vf = 0 (it is not moving vertically at its maximum height), g = 32, and h = 13.8, we can solve for vi:
vi^2 = 29.72 ft/s
This is only its vertical speed, so this is equivalent to its original speed multiplied by the sine of the angle:
29.72 ft/s = (v_original)*(sin 42.2<span>°</span>)
v_original = 44.24 ft/s
Converting to m/s, this can be divided by 3.28 to get 13.49 m/s.

A bird flying straight upward at 5 m/s drops a berry when it is 300 m above the ground. How fast is the berry going when it hits
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

v=77.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

h= - 300 m

speed of the bird ,u= 5 m/s

Lets take Speed of the berry when it hit the ground = v m/s

we know that ,if object is moving upward

v² = u² - 2 g h

u=Initial speed

v=Final speed

h=Height

Now by putting the values

v² = u² - 2 g h

v² = 5² - 2 x 10 x (-300)                ( take g = 10 m/s²)

v² =25 + 20 x 300

v² ==25 + 6000

v² =6025

v=77.62 m/s

Therefore the final speed of the berry will be 77.62 m/s.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

m/s^2

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

kgm/s^2 = kg × acceleration

where acceleration = Force ÷ mass

= kg m/s^2 ÷ kg

:Acceleration = m/s^2

A runner is jogging in a straight line at a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

13 km

Explanation:

The bird flies from the runner, to the finish line, and back to the runner.  We can write two equations for the distance it travels:

d = 7.8 km + 7.8 km − 4.9 km/hr × t

d = 24.5 km/hr × t

Solve for t in the second equation and substitute into the first:

t = d / 24.5

d = 7.8 + 7.8 − 4.9 (d / 24.5)

d = 15.6 − 0.2 d

1.2 d = 15.6

d = 13

The bird flies a cumulative distance of 13 km.

A spacecraft is in a circular Earth orbit at an altitude of 6000 km . By how much will its altitude decrease if it moves to a ne
blagie [28]

Answer:

a) 2148 km = 2150 km

b) 840 km

Explanation:

The force keeping the satellite in circular motion is the force given by Netwon's gravitational law

Centripetal force = (mv²/r)

Force due to Newton's law of gravitation = (GMm/r²)

where m = mass of satellite

M = mass of the earth

G = Gravitational constant

v = velocity of the satellite

r = radius of circular orbit

(mv²/r) = (GMm/r²)

v² = (GM/r)

Meaning that the square of the velocity of orbit is inversely proportional to the radius of circular orbit. (Since G and M are constants)

v² = (k/r)

when v = v₀, r = 6000 + 6378 = 12,378 km (the radius of orbit = 6000 km + radius of the earth)

v₀² = (k/12,378)

K = 12378v₀²

When the velocity increases by 10%, v₁ = 1.1v₀, the square of the new velocity = (1.1v₀)² = 1.21v₀² and the new radius of orbit = r₁

1.21v₀² = (k/r₁)

r₁ = (k/1.21v₀²)

Recall, k = 12378v₀²

r₁ = 12378v₀² ÷ 1.21v₀² = 10,229.75 km

10,229.75 km = (10,229.75 - 6378) km altitude above the Earth's surface

New altitude of orbit = 3851.75 km

Decrease in altitude = 6000 - 3851.75 = 2148 km

b) The period of orbit is related to the radius of orbit through Kepler's Law

T² ∝ R³

T² = kR³

When the period of orbit is T₀, Radius of orbit = R₀ = (6000 + 6378) = 12378 km (Earth's radius = 6378 km)

T₀² = kR₀³

T₀² = k(12378)³

k = (T₀²) ÷ (12378)³

When the period reduces by 10%, T₁ = 0.90T₀ and the new radius of orbit = R₁

T₁² = kR₁³

(0.90T₀)² = kR₁³

0.81T₀² = kR₁³

R₁³ = (0.81T₀²) ÷ k

Recall, k = (T₀²)/(12378)³

R₁³ = (0.81T₀²) ÷ [(T₀²)/(12378)³]

R₁³ = 1,536,160,005,663.1

R₁ = ∛(1,536,160,005,663.1) = 11,538.4 km

New Altitude = R₁ - (Radius of the Earth)

= 11,538.4 - 6378 = 5160.4 km

Decrease in altitude = 6000 - 5160.4 = 839.6 km = 840 km

Hope this Helps!!!

The statement that "the lowest energy configuration for an atom is theone having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowe
Mila [183]

Answer:

"The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed by thePauli principle in a particular set of degenerate orbitals" is known as Hund's rule.

Explanation:

Pauli's Exclusion principle states that "two or more electrons can not have the same values of the set of all quantum numbers in an atom or a molecule".

So, the given statement <em>is not</em> Pauli's Exclusion principle.

Hund's rule states that the lowest energy configuration of an atom is that one in which the maximum number of parallel spins of the electrons are present.

The given statement is "The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed by the Pauli principle in a particular set of degenerate orbitals", which is same as the Hund's rule.

Thus, the given statement is Hund' rule.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the momentum and position of an object can not be measured exactly at the same time.

So, the given statement <em>is not</em> Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Aufbau principle tells about the filling of the electrons in subshells of an atom. Therefore, the given statement <em>is not </em>Aufbau principle.
