A mouse spots an owl flying 10.1 feet over a nearby bush. The mouse is 30 feet away from the bush, and it sees the owl at a cert

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

fly is at height of $h=10.1\ ft$

mouse is at a distance of 30 ft from bush

if $\theta$ is the angle of elevation then

using trigonometric relation

$\tan \theta =\frac{h}{x}$

$\tan \theta =\frac{10.1}{30}$

$\theta =tan^{-1}(\frac{10.1}{30})$

$\theta =18.57^{\circ}$

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

a) Knowns, initial speed $v_{i}=13.0 m/s$ , final speed $v_{f}=0 m/s$ and gravity due it is a constant $g=9.8m/s^{2}$

b) The maximum high reached by the dolphin is $y_{max}=8.62 m$

c) Total time is $t=2.65s$

Explanation:

a) First of all the initial speed is given at the start of the problem, gravity is constant and final speed is known any object thrown straight up reaches its max high at $0m/s$ speed.

b) Second, now that we know final speed we use $v_{f} =v_{i}-gt$ , as we clear for $t=\frac{v_{i}-v_{f} }{g}=\frac{20.0m/s}{9.8m/s^{2} }=1.32 s$ .

Then we use $y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}=(20.0m/s)(1.32s)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} ) (1.32s)^{2} =8.62m$

c)Third, finally we can use $y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}$ , as we know $y=0m$ when the dolphin fall into the water again and $v_{i} =13.0m/s$ , then we have $0=(13m/s)t-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}$ is a quadratic form $0=t(13.0-4.9t)$ so we have $t_{i}=0s$ and $t_{f}=\frac{13}{4.90} =2.65s$
