An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 3.0 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bu

shes 87.5 m away attempting to subdue the monkey with a tranquilizer gun. the vet knows that the moment the gun fires the monkey will be frightened and fall down from the branch. what angle up from the ground must the veterinarian aim the gun so that the tranquilizer dart will hit the falling monkey?

here in the given situation if monkey starts free fall at the same instant when veterinarian shoots towards it then we know that vertical component of motion of monkey and the dart will be same as under gravity

so here the dart will always hit the monkey because they both moves under same acceleration

so here for the angle we can use

$tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}$

now we have

H = 3 m

L = 87.5 m

now we will have

$tan\theta = \frac{3}{87.5}$

$tan\theta = 0.034$

$\theta = 1.96 degree$

so angle will be 1.96 degree above the ground

At 0°C, frozen water (ice) changes to liquid water. When an ice cube is placed on something that is warmer than it heat will mov

kondaur [170]

Answer:

a common temperature is reached.

Explanation:

The principle of heat transfer is that heat flows from a substance of higher temperature to that of lower temperature until when a common temperature is reached.

For ice on getting in contact with a hot body; it changes to water at 0°c utilising the latent heat of fusion. After ice has been converted to water at 0°c, water starts increasing in temperature till a common temperature is reached.

A 0.500-kg glider, attached to the end of an ideal spring with force constant undergoes shm with an amplitude of 0.040 m. comput

Nikitich [7]

There is a missing data in the text of the problem (found on internet):
"with force constant<span> k=</span>450N/<span>m"

a) the maximum speed of the glider

The total mechanical energy of the mass-spring system is constant, and it is given by the sum of the potential and kinetic energy:
</span> $E=U+K= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
<span>where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement of the glider with respect to the spring equilibrium position
m is the glider mass
v is the speed of the glider at position x

When the glider crosses the equilibrium position, x=0 and the potential energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy and the speed of the glider is maximum:
</span> $E=K_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$
<span>Vice-versa, when the glider is at maximum displacement (x=A, where A is the amplitude of the motion), its speed is zero (v=0), therefore the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy:
</span> $E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k A^2$
<span>
Since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
</span> $\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$
<span>from which we find the maximum speed
</span> $v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{kA^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(450 N/m)(0.040 m)^2}{0.500 kg} }= 1.2 m/s$
<span>
b) </span><span> the </span>speed<span> of the </span>glider<span> when it is at x= -0.015</span><span>m

We can still use the conservation of energy to solve this part.
The total mechanical energy is:
</span> $E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J$
<span>
At x=-0.015 m, there are both potential and kinetic energy. The potential energy is
</span> $U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(-0.015 m)^2=0.05 J$
<span>And since
</span> $E=U+K$
<span>we find the kinetic energy when the glider is at this position:
</span> $K=E-U=0.36 J - 0.05 J = 0.31 J$
<span>And then we can find the corresponding velocity:
</span> $K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.31 J}{0.500 kg} }=1.11 m/s$
<span>
c) </span><span>the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider;
</span>
For a simple harmonic motion, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration is given by
$a_{max} = \omega^2 A$
where $\omega= \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }$ is the angular frequency, and A is the amplitude.
The angular frequency is:
$\omega = \sqrt{ \frac{450 N/m}{0.500 kg} }=30 rad/s$
and so the maximum acceleration is
$a_{max} = \omega^2 A = (30 rad/s)^2 (0.040 m) =36 m/s^2$

d) <span>the </span>acceleration<span> of the </span>glider<span> at x= -0.015</span><span>m

For a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is given by
</span> $a(t)=\omega^2 x(t)$
<span>where x(t) is the position of the mass-spring system. If we substitute x(t)=-0.015 m, we find
</span> $a=(30 rad/s)^2 (-0.015 m)=-13.5 m/s^2$
<span>
e) </span><span>the total mechanical energy of the glider at any point in its motion. </span><span>

we have already calculated it at point b), and it is given by
</span> $E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2= 0.36 J$
