A Fleas can jump up a distance as large as 33 cm horizontally in a single leap (they are only 0.3 mm in size!). What is their la

Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Launch velocity of the fleas = 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Optimal launch angle is the angle that guarantees the maximum horizontal distance covered.

Optimum launch angle = 45°

The horizontal distance covered by a projectile is given as Range

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

u = initial velocity of the projectile (flea) = ?

R = range = 33 cm = 0.33 m

θ = 45°

2θ = 2 × 45° = 90°

Sin 90° = 1

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (u²/g)

u² = Rg = 0.33 × 9.8 = 3.234

u = 1.80 m/s

Hope this helps!!!

Which of the following is an example of potential energy? (2 points)
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: The correct answer is (a).

Explanation:

The potential energy is due to the position of the object.

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the object.

In the case of a basketball sitting on a shelf, the basketball posses the potential energy due to some height.

In the case of a dog running across a field, a dog has kinetic energy due to its motion.

In a case of a bowling ball rolling down a lane, there is kinetic energy due to the motion of the bowling ball.

In the case of a teenager riding their bike, there is kinetic energy due to the motion of the bike.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a).

A cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in  x-  direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x  + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0  = x  + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}

      P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s

Two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other, so that their transmission directions are parallel to one another
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

0.5I0

Explanation:

Because once ligh passes though any polarizer 50% of it is gone.  The second polarizer is also oriented in the same direction so it passes through with no effect.

How is photon energy calculated? (choose 2)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the wave model of light, physicists predicted that increasing light amplitude would increase the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, while increasing the frequency would increase measured current.

Contrary to the predictions, experiments showed that increasing the light frequency increased the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, and increasing the light amplitude increased the current.

Based on these findings, Einstein proposed that light behaved like a stream of particles called photons with an energy of \text{E}=h\nuE=hνstart text, E, end text, equals, h, \nu.

The work function, \PhiΦ\Phi, is the minimum amount of energy required to induce photoemission of electrons from a metal surface, and the value of \PhiΦ\Phi depends on the metal.

The energy of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the metal's work function and the photoelectron kinetic energy:

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cmcm. She finds that the pen
Art [367]

Hi there!

First, let's find the period of the pendulum. This can be found by solving for the amount of time it takes for the pendulum to make ONE complete swing.

T = \frac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Number of complete swings} }\\\\T = \frac{145}{110} = 1.318 s

Now, let's use the equation for the period of a simple pendulum:
T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

T = Period (1.318 s)
L = length of string (0.55 m)

g = acceleration due to gravity on planet (? m/s²)

Let's solve for 'g' doing some quick rearranging of the equation:
T^2 = 4 \pi^2 (\frac{L}{g})\\\\g = \frac{4\pi^2 L}{T^2}\\\\

Solving for 'g' by plugging in values:
g = \frac{4\pi^2 (0.55)}{(1.318)^2}\\ \\= \boxed{12.496 \frac{m}{s^2}}
