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

A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V0 and gains a speed v0. If it were accelerated instead through
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge on proton be q .

energy gain by proton in a field having potential difference of V₀

= V₀ q

Due to gain of energy , its kinetic energy becomes 1/2 m v₀²

where m is mass and v₀ is velocity of proton

V₀ q = 1/2 m v₀²

In the second case , gain of energy in electrical field

= 2 V₀q , if v be the velocity gained in the second case

2 V₀q = 1/2 m v²

1/2 m v² = 2 V₀q = 2 x 1/2 m v₀²

mv² = 2  m v₀²

v = √2 v₀

3. You are flying 2586 miles from San Francisco to New York. An hour into the flight, you are 600
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

268.2 m/s (1dp)

Explanation:

600 miles = 965,606m (1mile = 1609.34m)

965606/60 = 16,0943.43 ..... (metres traveled every minute)

16,0943.43/60 = 268.2238 .....

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Interface

Explanation:

This is a classic example of Interface technology.

An interface allows different software packages to communicate without re-entering data.

Here in this case also systems are able to communicate with one another without duplicating data entry. For example, practice management software and another for their electronic health record.

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?
Alex787 [66]
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.
