The velocity of the eagle is 7.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the fish is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction, where the horizontal velocity of the fish is equal to the horizontal velocity of the eagle

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction  

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where:

s = 6.1 m is the vertical displacement of the fish

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the fish

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find the time of flight of the fish:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.1)}{9.8}}=1.12 s

Now we know that during this time, the fish travels a horizontal distance of

x = 7.9 m

Therefore, the horizontal velocity of the fish is

v_x = \frac{x}{t}=\frac{7.9}{1.12}=7.0 m/s

And therefore, this is the initial velocity of the eagle.

hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 14 m/s and is 84 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) How
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a) t = 4.14 s

b) Speed with which it hits the ground = 40.58 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

g = 9.8 m/s², y = H = 84 m,

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s,

final velocity, v = ?

Total Time of fall, t = ?

a) y = ut + gt²/2

84 = 0 + 9.8t²/2

4.9t² = 84

t² = 84/4.9

t = 4.14 s

b) v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 4.14)

v = 40.58 m/s

Answer:

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explanation:

given,

frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan=0.350 N

coefficient of friction between material =0.04

normal force = ?

using formula,

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force

normal\ force = \dfrac{Frictional\ force}{coefficient\ of\ friction}

normal\ force = \dfrac{0.350}{0.04}

Normal force = 8.75 N
