c) Because of proportions
Explanation:
a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver
Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:
(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:
So the sum is:
b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:
c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.
Answer:
The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.
Explanation:
Hi there!
Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.
The motion of the salmon is a parabolic one because when it jumps, it already has a horizontal velocity (see figure).
The position and velocity vectors of the salmon at a time t, can be calculated as follows:
r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)
v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)
Where:
r = position of the salmon at time t.
x0 = initial horizotal position.
v0x = initial horizontal velocity.
t = time.
y0 = initial vertical position.
v0y = initial vertical velocity.
g = acceleration of gravity.
Looking at the figure, notice that at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero (because the velocity vector is horizontal). Using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity, we can obtain the time at which the salmon is at its maximum height:
vy = v0y + g · t
To find the initial vertical velocity, v0y, let´s look at the figure. Notice that the initial velocity is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed with the horizontal velocity and the vertical velocity. Then:
v0² = v0x² + v0y²
Solving for v0y:
v0y = √(v0² - v0x²)
v0y = √((6.75 m/s)² - (1.65 m/s)²)
v0y = 6.55 m/s
Now, using the equation of the vertical component of the velocity at the maximum height (vy = 0):
vy = v0y + g · t
0 = 6.55 m/s + (-9.8 m/s²) · t
-6.55 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t
t = 0.67 s
Now, using the equation of the vertical position at t = 0.67 s, we can find the maximum height:
y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²
y = 0 m + 6.55 m/s · 0.67 s + 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · (0.67 s)²
y = 2.19 m
The maximum height that the fish can jump is 2.19 m.
