A 53.0-kg skater is traveling due east at a speed of 2.90 m/s. A 72.0-kg skater is moving due south at a speed of 6.20 m/s. They

collide and hold on to each other after the collision, managing to move off at an angle south of east, with a speed of vf. Find (a) the angle and (b) the speed vf, assuming that friction can be ignored.

Answer:

a.\thta=71^{\circ}

b.v_f=3.78 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=53 kg

v_1=2.9 m/s

m_2= 72 kg

v_2=6.2 m/s

a.We have to find the angle

\theta=tan^{-1}{\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}=\frac{72(6.2)}{53(2.9)}=71^{\circ}

\theta=71^{\circ}

b. We have to find the speed v_f

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta

53(2.9)=(53+72)v_fcos 71^{\circ}=40.7 v_f

v_f=\frac{153.7}{40.7}=3.78 m/s

Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.

PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR HOURS!! How do some carnivorous plants avoid beginning the digestion process from an a
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Once a carnivorous plant has procured an item for dinner, it has to have some way to turn it into fertilizer. What carnivorous plants do is very similar to what humans do with their dinner after they have eaten it. Most carnivorous plants have glands that secrete acids and enzymes to dissolve proteins and other compounds. The plants may also enlist other organisms to help with digestion. The plants then absorb the nutrients made available from the prey.

Drosera releases digestive juices through the glands at the tip of its tentacles and absorbs the nutrients through the tentacles, leaf surface, and sessile glands. In order to do this it bends its tentacles and rolls or bends the leaf to get as many tentacles as possible into contact with the prey for digestion and to make as much leaf surface available for absorption. Its relative Drosophyllum has differently structured, non moving tentacles and doesn't use them directly for digestion. Instead it has specialized glands on the surface of the leaf that release the digestive enzymes (see Carniv. Pl. Newslett. 11(3):66-73 ( PDF ) for drawings and discussion).

The sealed trap of Dionaea does digestion in a way similar to the leaf surface digestion carnivores—upon capture of a prey, digestive enzymes in mucous are released. The advantage of the sealed trap of Dionaea is rain won't wash away the nutrients as digestion proceeds.

The sealed trap carnivores Aldrovanda and Utricularia already have water in their traps so they only need to release enzymes. Utricularia appears to release the enzymes continuously into its traps.

The other carnivorous plants use either a mixed mode of digestive enzymes and partner organisms (Genlisea, Sarracenia, most Nepenthes, Cephalotus, some Heliamphora, Roridula) or other organisms exclusively for digestion (most Heliamphora, some Nepenthes, Darlingtonia). Part of the reason for partnering with other organisms is that the plants actually have little choice in the matter. This could also be a factor for the leaf surface and sealed trap digesters as well. The prey will have gut flora that are quite capable of digesting their host when it dies. In addition, insect larvae, frog tadpoles, and predacious protozoans will or will attempt to take up residence in water-filled traps. The plant releasing digestive enzymes and acids into the traps will help tip the nutrition balance to themselves, but there are limits.

Example 4.6 provides a nice example of the overlap between kinematics and dynamics. It is known that the plane accelerates from
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

ax = 2.60m/s^{2}, t = 26.92s

Explanation:

The acceleration of the plane can be determined by means of the kinematic equation that correspond to a Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion.

(vx)f^{2} = (vx)i^{2} + 2ax \Lambda x (1)

Where (vx)f^{2} is the final velocity, (vx)i^{2} is the initial velocity, ax is the acceleration and  \Lambda x is the distance traveled.

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of ax:

(vx)f^{2} - (vx)i^{2} = 2ax \Lambda x

2ax \Lambda x = (vx)f^{2} - (vx)i^{2}

ax = \frac{(vx)f^{2} - (vx)i^{2}}{2 \Lambda x}  (2)

Since the plane starts from rest, its initial velocity will be zero ((vx) = 0):

Replacing the values given in equation 2, it is gotten:

ax = \frac{(70m/s)^{2} - (0m/s)^{2}}{2(940m)}

ax = \frac{4900m/s}{2(940m)}

ax = \frac{4900m/s}{1880m}

ax = 2.60m/s^{2}

So, The acceleration of the plane is 2.60m/s^{2}    

Now that the acceleration is known, the next equation can be used to find out the time:

(vx)f = (vx)i + axt (3)

Rewritten equation (3) in terms of t:

t = \frac{(vx)f - (vx)i}{ax}

t = \frac{70m/s - 0m/s}{2.60m/s^{2}}

t = 26.92s

<u>Hence, the plane takes 26.92 seconds to reach its take-off speed.</u>
