Answer:

<h2>a) Vertical speed when it leaves the ground is 7 m/s</h2><h2>b) Kangaroo is in air for 1.43 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = ?

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Displacement, s = 2.50 m

Substituting

v² = u² + 2as

0² = u² + 2 x -9.81 x 2.50

u = 7 m /s

Vertical speed when it leaves the ground is 7 m/s

b) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 7 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 0 m --- Time is calculating for returning to ground

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

0 = 7 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

t = 1.43 seconds

Kangaroo is in air for 1.43 seconds.

A rock falls off a cliff. How fast will it be going after falling for 4.33 seconds?

bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

A double nozzle lying in a horizontal x-y plane discharges water into the atmosphere at a rate of 0.5 m3 /s. Assume the water sp

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The force is $F= 46.25kN$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

At Equilibrium the summation of the of force on the vertical axis is zero

i.e $\sum F_y =0$

=> $F_y sin \ 60^o =\rho Q (v_2 -v_1 cos \ 30^o)$

$v_2$ is the is the speed of water at the nozzle which can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_2 = \frac{R}{A_n}$

substituting $0.5m^3/s$ for R and $\frac{\pi}{4}(12*\frac{1m}{100} )^2$ for $A_n$

$v_2 = \frac{0.5}{\frac{\pi}{4} * (12*\frac{1}{100} )^2 }$

$= 44.23 m/s$

$v_1$ is the is the speed of water at the pipe which can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_1 = \frac{R}{A_p}$

substituting $0.5m^3/s$ for R and $\frac{\pi}{4}(30*\frac{1m}{100} )^2$ for $A_p$

$v_1 = \frac{0.5}{\frac{\pi}{4} * (30*\frac{1}{100} )^2 }$

$= 7.07 m/s$

$\rho$ is he density of water with value $\rho =1000 kg /m^3$

Substituting values into the equation above

$F_ysin 60^o = 1000 (0.5) (44.23 -7.07 cos 30)$

$= 21.99kN$

At Equilibrium the summation of the of force on the horizontal axis is zero

i.e $\sum F_x =0$

=> $F_y sin \ 30^o =\rho Q (v_2 -v_1 sin \ 30^o)$

Since The speed at both A and B nozzle are the same then $v_2$ remains the same

Substituting values

$F_x sin30^o =1000 (0.5) (44.23 - 7.07*sin30)$

=> $F_x = 40.69kN$

Hence the force acting on the flange bolts required to hold the nozzle in place is

$F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}$

$= \sqrt{40.69 ^2 + 21.99^2}$

$F= 46.25kN$

What property or properties of a wave determine it's speed?

mash [69]

The properties of the wave don't determine its speed. The properties of the medium do. You can FIND the speed by measuring the wave's frequency and wavelength.

Why does it takes a long time to heat a room with a high ceiling?

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

High ceilings make a room feel large and open, but they can be difficult to cool and heat. Because hot air rises, the challenge becomes trying to keep the hot air where you want it and preventing if from being wasted where you don't.
