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>

How many protons are in the radioactive isotope 40/19K?
trasher [3.6K]
First we have to establish that the number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number of element. Here I am assuming that you are referring to Potassium (K) - 40. Potassium, stable or unstable has 19 protons.

How do I find the speed of sound when given Frequency and displacement?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

s=\lambda f

Where:

s is the speed of the sound wave

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency
