<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 3 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m

Explain the energy transfer if a book on the edge of a table, falls to the floor. There should be 3 types of energy transfers.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

potential energy

kinetic energy

thermal energy

Explanation:

The book's potential energy can be released by knocking it off the table. As the book falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. When the book hits the floor this kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.

g Two cars, car 1 and car 2 are traveling in opposite directions, car 1 with a magnitude of velocity v1=13.0 m/s and car 2 v2= 7

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

When they are approaching each other

$f_a = 2228.7 \ Hz$

When they are passing each other

$f_a = 2100Hz$

When they are retreating from each other

$f_a = 1980.7 Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity of car one is $v_1 = 13.0 m/s$

The velocity of car two is $v_2 = 7.22 m/s$

The frequency of sound from car one is $f_e = 2.10 kHz$

Generally the speed of sound at normal temperature is $v = 343 m/s$

Now as the cars move relative to each other doppler effect is created and this can be represented mathematically as

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v \pm v_o}{v \pm v_s} ]$

Where $v_s$ is the velocity of the source of sound

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer of the sound

$f_o$ is the actual frequence

$f_a$ is the apparent frequency

Considering the case when they are approaching each other

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} ]$

$v_o = v_2$

$v_s = v_1$

$f_o = f_e$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100 [\frac{343 + 7.22}{ 343 - 13} ]$

$f_a = 2228.7 \ Hz$

Considering the case when they are passing each other

At that instant

$v_o = v_s = 0m/s$

$f_o = f_e$

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v }{v } ]$

$f_a = f_o$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100Hz$

Considering the case when they are retreating from each other

$f_a = f_o [\frac{v - v_o}{v + v_s} ]$

$v_o = v_2$

$v_s = v_1$

$f_o = f_e$

Substituting value

$f_a = 2100 [\frac{343 - 7.22}{343 + 13} ]$

$f_a = 1980.7 Hz$

The first law of Thermodynamics is another way to describe the law of conservation of Energy. It states that:

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

C. The change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1

Where;

Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.

Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.

The law of conservation of Energy is another way to describe the law of Thermodynamics. It states that the change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

ΔU = Q − W

Where;

ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.

Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.

W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 77.2 kg hop on board for a ride

lions [1.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion and Hook's law.

By Hook's law we know that force is defined as,

$F= kx$

Where,

k = spring constant

x = Displacement change

PART A) For the case of the spring constant we can use the above equation and clear k so that

$k= \frac{F}{x}$

$k = \frac{mg}{x}$

$k= \frac{77.2*9.8}{0.0637}$

$k = 11876.92N/m$

Therefore the spring constant for each one is 11876.92/2 = 5933.46N/m

PART B) In the case of speed we can obtain it through the period, which is given by

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$

Re-arrange to find \omega,

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.14}$

$\omega = 2.93rad/s$

Then through angular kinematic equations where angular velocity is given as a function of mass and spring constant we have to

$\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m}$

$m = \frac{k}{\omega^2}$

$m = \frac{ 11876.92}{2.93}$

$m = 4093.55Kg$

Therefore the mass of the trailer is 4093.55Kg

PART C) The frequency by definition is inversely to the period therefore

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

$f = \frac{1}{2.14}$

$f = 0.4672 Hz$

Therefore the frequency of the oscillation is 0.4672 Hz

PART D) The time it takes to make the route 10 times would be 10 times the period, that is

$t_T = 10*T$

$t_T = 10 *2.14s$

$t_T = 21.4s$

Therefore the total time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times is 21.4s
