I was having trouble with this problem, and problems like it: A 3.2 kg pelican, with a 1.73 kg fish in its mouth, is flying 1.52

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

28.1 m/s

Explanation:

$u_x$ = Initial velocity of the fish = 1.52 m/s

y = Height of the bird = 40 m

$a_y$ = Acceleration in y axis = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

$u_y$ = Initial velocity in y axis = 0

$y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 40=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.86\ \text{s}$

$v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=0+9.81\times 2.86\\\Rightarrow v_y=28.057\ \text{m/s}$

The final velocity in x direction will remain the same as the initial velocity as there is no acceleration in the x direction $u_x=v_x=1.52\ \text{m/s}$

Resultant velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{1.52^2+28.057^2}\\\Rightarrow v=28.1\ \text{m/s}$

The fish is moving at a velocity of 28.1 m/s when it hits the water.

Elements in a period have _____________.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.
