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;

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*5}{9.81} } \\\\t = 1.01 \ s$

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.

Does the Earth stay in one place throughout the year? If it doesn't, describe its motion and where it's located in the solar syt

stiv31 [10]

the earth moves throughout the year such as rotate around the sun, so yes the it does move and it sits roughly at 93.048 million miles away from the sun. I hope this helps you out! :)

How did the magnet’s density measurement using the Archimedes’ Principle compare to the density measurement using the calculated

guapka [62]

Answer:

The two methods will yield different results as one is subject to experimental errors that us the Archimedes method of measurement, the the density measurement method will be more accurate

Explanation:

This is because the density method using the calculated volume will huve room for less errors that's occur in practical method i.e Archimedes method due to human error

How could you increase the sleds acceleration

gladu [14]

By putting this special transportation plastic on the bottom of the sled, because the transportation plastic is slick. that is what the transport bins slide around on. (p.s) the plastic is really expensive!

How fast (in rpm) must a centrifuge rotate if a particle 7.3 cm from the axis of rotation is to experience an acceleration of 1.

guajiro [1.7K]

The formula we use here is:

radial acceleration = ω^2 * R 

110,000 * 9.81 m/s^2 = ω^2 * 0.073 m
ω^2 = 110,000 * 9.81 / 0.073
ω = 3844.76 rad/s

and since: ω = 2pi*f --> f = ω/(2pi)
f = 3844.76 / (2pi) = 611.91 rps = 611.91 * 60 rpm
= 36,714.77 rpm

Which of the following would decrease in size during the contraction of a sarcomere? The width of the I-bands The width of the A

ANEK [815]

Hi!

The correct answer would be: the width of I-bands

The sacromere is the smallest contractile unit of striated muscles. These units comprise of filaments (fibrous proteins) that, upon muscle contraction or relaxation, slide past each other. The sacromere consists of thick filaments (myosin) and thin filaments (actin).

Refer to the attached picture to clearly see the structure of a sacromere.

When a sacromere contracts, a series of changes take place which include:

- Shortening of I band, and consequently the H zone

- The A line remains unchanged

- Z lines come closer to each other (and this is due to the shortening of the I bands)

The only changes that take place occur in the zones/areas in the sacromere (as mentioned), not in the filaments (actin and myosin) that make the up the sacromere; hence all other options are wrong.

Hope this helps!
