A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops
1 answer:
Answer:
The initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
height of the pelican, h = 5.0 m
horizontal distance, X = 8.9 m
The time of flight is given by;
The initial horizontal speed of the pelican is given by;
X = vₓt
vₓ = X / t
vₓ = 8.9 / 1.01
vₓ = 8.81 m/s
Therefore, the initial speed of the pelican is 8.81 m/s.

Let's explain the following electrical terms.
• Electric current, can be said to be the flow of electric charge. These charges are through a conductor by moving electrons.
• Ammeter, is an instrument used to measure the amount of electric current in a circuit.
The name ammeter was derived from the unit of electric current (Amperes).
• Voltmeter, can be said to be an instrument used to measure the voltage(potential difference) in a circuit. It measures the electric potential between two points in an electrical circuit. It can also be called voltage meter.
• Electric circuit, can be defined as the conductive path for the flow of electric current.
It allows electric charge carriers to flow continuously.
• Resistance ,can be said to be the property of an electrical conductor which resists the flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms.
• Ohms law, states that the potential difference (V) between two points is directly proportional to the electric current across two points.
It is deonted as: V = I x R
Voltage = Current x Resistance
• Electric potential ,can be said to be the amount of electric potential energy at a point.
