A fox sees a piece of carrion men thrown from a Hawk's Nest and rushes to snatch it. The best is 14.0m high and the carrion is t

hrown with horizontal velocity of 1.5 m/s. The fox is 7.0m from the base of the tree. What is the magnitude of the fox average velocity of it grabs the carrion in its mouth just as it touches the ground

The y-component of the velocity of the carrion is equal to zero. That being said, the time it takes for the carrion to reach the ground (as close as possible to the fox) can be calculated through the equation,

    d = Vot + 0.5gt²

where d is the distance, Vo is initial velocity (in this case, zero), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). Substituting the known values,

  14 = 0.5(9.8)(t²)
    t = 1.69 seconds

Since the horizontal component of the velocity is 1.5 m/s, the distance from the base of the tree to the point where the carrion will fall is equal to,
    (1.5 m/s)(1.69 s) = 2.535 m

We add this to the given distance of the fox from the base of the tree to determine the distance of the fox from the carrion.
   total distance = 2.535 m + 7 m = 9.535 m

Given that the time it takes for it to travel would only be 1.69 seconds, the speed would then be,
 
   speed = (9.535 m) / (1.69 s) = 5.64 m/s

<em>ANSWER: speed = 5.64 m/s</em>

A sinusoidal wave is traveling along a rope. The oscillator that generates the wave completes 43.0 vibrations in 29.0 s. A given
Aliun [14]

Answer:

wavelength is 20.71 cm

Explanation:

given data

wave = 43.0 vibrations

time = 29 s

wave travels = 430 cm

time t2 = 14 s

to find out

wavelength

solution

we know here wavelength formula that is

wavelength = velocity / frequency  .........................1

here frequency = 43 / 29 = 1.4827 Hz

and velocity = 430 / 14 = 30.71 cm/s

so here from equation 1 put all value

wavelength = velocity / frequency

wavelength = 30.71 / 1.4827

wavelength = 20.71 cm

so wavelength is 20.71 cm

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

Triss [41]
I can conclude that the aluminum heats up faster then the water, since how they are made up is more different, each has a different compound to it, plus water is more denser<span />
