An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 3.80 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 3.90 m

below. Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water. (Assume that the eagle is flying in the x-direction and that the y-direction is up.)

Answer:

the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.537m/s and 66.52⁰ below horizontal

Explanation:

initial veetical speed V₀y=0

Horizontal speed Vx = Vx₀= 3.80m/s

Vertical drop height= 3.90m

Let Vy = vertical speed when it got to the water downward.

g= 9.81m/s² = acceleration due to gravity

From kinematics equation of motion for vertical drop

Vy²= V₀y² +2 gh

Vy²= 0 + ( 2× 9.8 × 3.90)

Vy= √76.518

Vy=8.747457

Then we can calculate the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water using Resultant speed formula below

V= √Vy² + Vx²

V=√3.80² + 8.747457²

V=9.537m/s

The angle can also be calculated as

θ=tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

tan⁻¹( 8.747457/3.80)

=66.52⁰

the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.537m/s and 66.52⁰ below horizontal

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

What is the meaning of critical angle in physics​
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

It's an Angle of incidence that provides a 90° angle but is also refracted at the same time. it's used to find the water-air boundary (which is 48.6 degrees). in addition, its an angle of incidence value.

An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of the isotopes each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i     .....(1)

We are given:

  • For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 19.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 90.92 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9092

  • For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 20.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.26%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0026

  • For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 21.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 8.82%

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0882  

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass}=[(19.99\times 0.9092)+(20.99\times 0.0026)+(21.99\times 0.0882)]

\text{Average atomic mass}=20.169amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

Which of the following statements is most closely associated with Einstein's general theory of relativity?
Fudgin [204]
The answer is the first one. That's because the general theory of relativity is the thing experiencing whatever is experiencing relative to something else. The second answer is just plain wrong. The third answer is just a constant, and doesn't relate to experiencing anything. And the fourth answer is a force between two objects, and it has no second comparison. The first answer is how a subject experiences two different things.
