Velocity=3.4m/sec
Mass=30kg
so kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
=1/2×30×3.4×3.4
=15×3.4×3.4
=15×11.56
=173.4 kg m per second square

Answer: 173.4 Joules

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times mv^2$

m= mass of object

v = velocity

$K.E=\frac{1\times 30kg\times (3.4ms^{-1})^2}{2}=173.4kgm^2s^{-2}=173.4J$

$(1kgm^2s^{-2}=1Joule)$

Points A (-5,6), B (2,-2), and C (-6,-3) are placed in three different quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. Convert each

AURORKA [14]

Answer: A ( $\sqrt{61}$ ,309.8°)

B (2 $\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

C ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

Explanation: To transform rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates use:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ and $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})$

For point A:

$r=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+6^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{61}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{-5})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.2)$

$\theta=-50.2$ °

Point A is in the II quadrant, so we substract the angle for 360° since it is in degrees:

$\theta=360-50.2$

$\theta=$ 309.8°

Polar coordinates for point A is ( $\sqrt{61}$ , 309.8°)

For point B:

$r=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{8}$

$r=2\sqrt{2}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=-45$ °

Point B is in IV quadrant, so:

$\theta=360-45$

$\theta=$ 315°

Polar coordinates for point B is ( $2\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

For point C:

$r=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{45}$

$r=3\sqrt{5}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-6} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(0.5)$

$\theta=$ 26.56°

Polar coordinates for point C is ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. In a typical strike, the chameleon’

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.2 m

Explanation:

PHASE 1

First, we calculate the distance the tongue moved in the first 20 ms (0.02 secs). We use one of Newton's equations of linear motion:

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = $250 m/s^2$

t = time = 0.02 s

Therefore:

$s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} * 250 * (0.02)^2\\\\\\s = 0.05 m$

PHASE 2

Then, for the next 30 ms (0.03 secs), we use the formula:

$distance = speed * time$

This speed is the same as the final velocity of the tongue after the first 20 ms.

This can be obtained by using the formula:

$v = u + at\\\\=> v = 0 + (250 * 0.02)\\\\\\v = 5 m/s$

Therefore:

distance = 5 * 0.03 = 0.15 m

Therefore, the total distance moved by the tongue in the 50 ms interval is:

0.05 + 0.15 = 0.2 m

Spiders may "tune" strands of their webs to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to the frequencies at which d

Bingel [31]

Answer:

0.0000167283525619 N

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of silk = 1300 kg/m³

d = Diameter = 0.002 mm

r = Radius = 0.001 mm

l = Length = 16 cm

f = Frequency = 200 Hz

Mass of the string is

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho Al\\\Rightarrow m=1300\times \pi (0.001\times 10^{-3})^2\times 0.16\\\Rightarrow m=6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\ kg$

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m/l}}\\\Rightarrow T=4lf^2m\\\Rightarrow T=4\times 0.16\times 200^2\times 6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\\\Rightarrow T=0.0000167283525619\ N$

The tension on the string is 0.0000167283525619 N
