Chinook salmon are able to move upstream faster by jumping out of the water periodically; this behavior is called porpoising. Su

ppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with a speed of 6.36 m/s at an angle of 45°, sails through the air a distance of L underwater at a speed of 3.58 m/s before beginning another porpoising maneuver. Determine the average speed of the fish.

Answer:he formula for average speed is (total distance/total time)

the y-component does not matter in this problem. so do 6.26(cos45)=4.43m/s to find the x-component velocity which is constant throughout the duration of the flight. the total distance is 2L because he travels distance L twice.

the total time is ((time in water)+(time out of water)) since you dont have time you must eliminate it. to do this you need (distance)/(time)=velocity

solve for time and you get T=D/V

time in water is L/3.52 and time out of water is L/4.43

add them together and you get (4.43L+3.52L)/(15.59) = 7.95L/15.59

that value is your total time

divide you total distance (2L) by total time (7.95L/15.59) and the Ls cancel out and you get

(31.18)/(7.95) = 3.92 m/s = Average Speed

If the skater coasts only around 65 degrees of the circle, find the magnitude of his displacement vector.
baherus [9]
We are given a skater who coasts only around 65 degrees of the circle. The magnitude of the vector is determined by converting 65 degrees to radians:

65//180 = 0.36 radians

The displacement of the vector is 65 degrees east.

Ket [755]
She can first measure the mass on the scale, then measure the cm^3 by putting water in the cylinder and measuring the original water level minus the water level after you put the rock in. The take the measurement from the scale (g) and divide it by the measurement in the graduated cylinder (c^3).

describe how acceleration and velocity are related and specify if these are scalar and vector quantities
vitfil [10]

Velocity is the rate of change in distance over change in time, this can be written as:

v = Δd / Δt

While acceleration is the rate of change in velocity over change in time, this is written as:

a = Δv / Δt

 

<span>Both quantities are vector quantities because negative values means that the acceleration or velocity is acting on the opposite direction.</span>
