The horse's position on the ground at time t is

x = (20 m/s) t

The baboon's height from the ground at time t is

y = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The baboon falls and lands on the horse, so that the two animals meet when the baboon's height is 2 m from the ground, which happens after

2 m = 3 m - 1/2 g t²

1/2 g t² = 1 m

t² = (2 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

t ≈ 0.452 s

In this time, the horse reaches the tree, so its distance from it is

(20 m/s) * (0.452 s) ≈ 9.04 m

Why is velocity a vector quantity

Jobisdone [24]

Velocity as a Vector Quantity
Because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. Since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity.

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?

slava [35]

A. Is very attractive. If it's sublimation directly from water vapor in the air to ice on the glass, then yes. But from liquid water mist to water ice, no. Ice is less dense than water. That's why cubes float in your soda. Better leave 'A' alone. . . . D. Ice pellets turn to liquid. That one's good.

A reservoir located in the mountain 250 m above sea level flows through a pipe to a hydroelectric plant in a town at sea level.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

v₂ = 70 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Bernoulli's equation

where subscript 1 is for the top of the mountain and subscript 2 is for Tuesday's level

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ +1/2 ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

indicate that the pressure in the two points is the same, y₁ = 250 m, y₂ = 0 m, the water in the upper part, because it is a reservoir, is very large for which the velocity is very small, we will approximate it to 0 (v₁ = 0), we substitute

ρ g y₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

v₂ = $\sqrt {2g \ y_1}$

let's calculate

v₂ = √( 2 9.8 250)

v₂ = 70 m / s
