Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their

Physics
1 answer:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

At least \rm 5.40\; m \cdot s^{-1} (3 significant figures.)

Assumption: there's no air resistance.

Explanation:

Let v\rm \; m\cdot s^{-1} be the minimum speed at which that salmon leaves the water with an elevation angle of 32.7^{\circ}. v > 0.

  • Initial horizontal velocity: v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}};
  • Initial vertical velocity: v \; \sin{32.7^{\circ}}.

Why is the initial horizontal velocity important? If there's no air resistance, the horizontal velocity of the fish will stay the same during its flight.

By the time the fish reaches the upper rim of the waterfall, it would have traveled \rm 1.87\; m horizontally. How much time after take-off will that occur?

\displaystyle t = \frac{s_\text{horizontal}}{v_\text{horizontal}} = \frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}}.

For the fish to continue upstream, its height should be at least \rm 0.37\; m by the time it reaches the upper rim of the waterfall. In other words, at \displaystyle t = \frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}}, h \ge 0.37.

If there's no air resistance, on the vertical direction the fish would accelerates downwards at a constant g =\rm -9.81\; m\cdot s^{-1} during the entire flight. Its height could be expressed as

\displaystyle h = \frac{1}{2}g \cdot t^{2} + v_{\text{vertical,} \atop \text{initial}}\cdot t.

That's the same as:

\begin{aligned} h &= \frac{1}{2}g \cdot t^{2} + v_{\text{vertical,} \atop \text{initial}}\cdot t\\ &= \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) \cdot \left(\frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}}\right)^{2} + (v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}})\cdot \frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}} \end{aligned}.

Let h = \rm 0.37\; m, Solve this equation for v

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) \cdot \left(\frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}}\right)^{2} + (v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}})\cdot \frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}} = 0.37.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) \cdot \left(\frac{1.87}{v\; \cos{32.7^{\circ}}}\right)^{2} + 1.87= 0.37

Given that v > 0, v = 5.40.

In other words, the fish must leave the water at a speed of at least \rm 5.40\; m\cdot s^{-1} to continue upstream.

What is an automatic stabilizer?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

c. It refers to any government program that tends to reduce fluctuations in GDP automatically.

Explanation:

Automatic Stabilizer is nothing but any scheme or program that that tends to reduce fluctuations in GDP automatically. It is generally intended to stabilize the GDP of a nation.

For examples In cases of economic slow down, the government sells its ownership in public sectors undertakings like,  railways, oil and natural gases, to private players. So, that government has some money to combat the slowdown.

1.00kg of ice at -24 degrees Celsius is placed in contact with a 1.00kg block of a metal at 5.00 degrees Celsius. They come to e
Alona [7]

Answer:

C₂ = 2.22 KJ/kg °C

Explanation:

Since, both objects are in thermal contact. Therefore, the law of conservation of energy tells us that:

Heat\ Lost\ by\ Metal\ Block = Heat\ Gained\ by\ Ice\\m_{1}C_{1} \Delta T_{1} = m_{2}C_{2} \Delta T_{2}

where,

m₁ = mass of ice = 1 kg

C₁ = specific heat of ice = 2.04 KJ/kg.°C

ΔT₁ = Change in Temperature of Ice = -8.88°C - (-24°C) = 15.12°C

m₂ = mass of metal block = 1 kg

C₂ = specific heat of metal = ?

ΔT₂ = Change in Temperature of Metal Block = 5°C - (-8.88°C) = 13.88°C

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

(1\ kg)(2.04\ KJ/kg.^0C)(15.12\ ^0C) = (1\ kg)C_{2}(13.88\ ^0C) \\C_{2} = \frac{30.84\ KJ}{13.88\ kg/^0C}

<u>C₂ = 2.22 KJ/kg °C</u>
