A gull is flying horizontally 10.80 m above the ground at 6.00 m/s. The bird is carrying a clam in its beak and plans to crack t

he clamshell by dropping it on some rocks below. (Ignore air resistance.) With what speed relative to the gull does the clam smash into the rocks?

Answer:

v_y = 14.55 m/s

Explanation:

given,

height at which gull is flying = 10.80 m

speed of the gull = 6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Relative to the seagull, the x-speed is 0,

because the seagull has the same x-speed.

Only the y-speed counts:

v_y^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v_y^2 = 0^2 + 2 g h

v_y = \sqrt{2gh}

v_y = \sqrt(2\times 9.8 \times 10.8)  

v_y = \sqrt(211.68)

v_y = 14.55 m/s

hence, the speed at which the clam smash the rock is v_y = 14.55 m/s

A group of scientists have obtained some experimental results.
topjm [15]
<span>In order best to find out whether the obtained experimental results are worth mor etime and resources the group of scientists should present their results (could be done also in poster session) to other scientists in order to hear their opinion and get a feedback. The shoudl also ask another researchers to redo the experiments and to compare the results. </span>

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

a heavy jar sits on top of a 3.4 m shelf with a gravitational potential energy of 180 j. What is the mass of the jar?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5.2941176471 kg or 5294.1 grams

Explanation:

g.p.e= mgh

g.p.e/gh=m

180j/10×3.4= m

180/34= m

5.2941 kg= m
