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

Sean climbs a tower that is 71.3 m high to make a jump with a parachute. The mass of Sean plus the parachute is 81.4 kg. If U =
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

U = 56877.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:

U = mgh Formula (1)

Where:

U is the potential energy in Joules (J)

m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)

g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)

Data

m= 81.4 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

h = 71.3 m

Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower

We replace data in the formula (1)

U = m*g*h

U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)

U = 56877.4 N*m

U = 56877.4 J

A projectile is launched vertically at 100 m/s. If air resistance can be ignored, at what speed will it return to its initial le
eduard
<h2>Speed with which it return to its initial level is 100 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 100 m/s  

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²  

Final velocity, v = ?

Displacement, s = 0 m  

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 100² + 2 x -9.81 x 0

v² = 100²

v = ±100 m/s

+100 m/s is initial velocity and -100 m/s is final velocity.

Speed with which it return to its initial level is 100 m/s

If your heart is beating at 76. 0 beats per minute, what is the frequency of your heart's oscillations in hertz?
nikitadnepr [17]

If the heart is beating at 76. 0 beats per minute, the Frequency of heart's oscillations in hertz is 1.25 Hertz.

The Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations completed in 1s.

Our heart beats continuously giving rise to the frequency of the heart.

Measuring frequency would be possible if we measure the time in seconds.

75 beats per minute means that 75 beats occur in 60s.

Frequency = Number of beats / Total time taken

Frequency = 75 / 60

Frequency = 1.25 Hz

Hence, number of beats per second is 1.25 Beats.

Beats per second or Cycles per second is same as the frequency of oscillation called as Hertz (Hz)

Hence, frequency of the heart oscillation is 1.25 Hertz (Hz).
