As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force exerted by the t

ail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of m and a mass of kg. If this fish is moving upward at m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.

Complete Question:

As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 48.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.30 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine the following. (a) the salmon's acceleration m/s2 upward (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval N

Answer:

(a) acceleration = 15.3 ms⁻²

(b) Magnitude of net force = 734.4 N

Magnitude of upward force exerted by tail fin = 1204.8 N

Explanation:

Mass of the salmon fish = 48 kg

Length of the Salmon Fish = 1.5 m

g = 9.8 ms⁻²

(a) salmon's acceleration during the time interval N:

Downward Force on the fish is equal to the Force due to gravity and is given as:

F₂ = mg

= 48 * 9.8

= 470.4 N

The direction of movement of the fish is upward and the acceleration is constant. We are given two different velocities of fish at two different instances.

- When the head breaks out of the water surface first:

Initial velocity = v₁ = 3 m/s

- When two third of its body length is out = d = 1 m

 Final Velocity = v₂ = 6.3 m/s

Using the third equation of motion:

2*a*d = v₂² - v₁²

a = (6.3² - 3²)/2*1

a = 15.3 ms⁻²

(b) magnitude of force F during this interval N = ?

We are assuming that F is the net force consisting of both the upward and the downward force.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, Force is given as:

F = ma

F = 48 kg * 15.3

F = 734.4 N

Magnitude of upward Force = Fₓ

Force Fₓ exerted by the tail fin of the fish is given by

F = Fₓ - F₂

That is the net force is the sum of the upward and downward forces acting on the fish body. Fₓ is positive because it is in upward direction and F₂ is negative because it is in downward direction. F which is the net force here is positive as Fₓ > F₂.

=>   Fₓ = F + F₂

Fₓ = 734.4 + 470.4

Fₓ = 1204.8 N

A mass is attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant. The spring gains 10 J of elastic potential energy if stretched b
Firlakuza [10]

From the given information in the question, the correct option is Option 1: 14 cm.

A non-stretched elastic spring has a conserved potential energy which gives it the ability to perform work. The elastic potential energy can be expressed as:

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

Where PE is the energy, k is the spring constant and x is extension.

i. Given that: PE = 10 J and x = 10 cm, then;

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

10 = \frac{1}{2} k 10^{2}

20 = 100k

k = 0.2 J/cm

ii. To determine how far the spring is needed to be stretched, given that PE = 20 J.

PE = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}

20 = \frac{1}{2} (0.2) x^{2}

40 = 0.2 x^{2}

x^{2} = 200

x = \sqrt{200}

  = 14.1421

x = 14.14 cm

So that;

x is approximately 14.00 cm.

Thus, the spring need to be stretched to 14.00 cm to give the spring 20 J of elastic potential energy.

A coin 15.0 mm in diameter is placed 15.0 cm from a spherical mirror. The coin's image is 5.0 mm in diameter and is erect. Is th
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

15 cm

Explanation:

h_{o} = Diameter of the coin = 15 mm

h_{i} = Diameter of the image of coin =  5 mm

d_{o} = distance of the coin from mirror = 15 cm

d_{i} = distance of the image of coin from mirror = ?

Using the equation

\frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = \frac{- h_{i}}{h_{o}}

\frac{d_{i}}{15} = \frac{- (5)}{15}

d_{i} = - 5 cm

R = radius of curvature

Using the mirror equation

\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{2}{R}

\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{- 5} = \frac{2}{R}

R = - 15 cm
