To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum is defined as the product between mass and velocity of each body. And its conservation as the equality between the initial and final momentum. Mathematically described as

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Here

m_1 = Mass of big fish

m_2 = Mass of small fish

v_1 = Velocity of big fish

v_2 = Velocity of small fish

v_F = Final Velocity

The big fish eats small fish and the final velocity is zero. Rearrange the equation for the initial velocity of small fish we have

m_1u_1=-m_2u_2

u_2 = -\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}

Replacing we have,

u_2 = -\frac{(5kg)(1m/s)}{0.5kg}

u_2 = -10m/s

The negative sign indicates that the small fish is swimming in the direction opposite to that of the big fish.

Therefore the speed of the small fish is 10m/s

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a) Δf = 0.7 n , e)   f = (15.1 ± 0.7) 10³ Hz

Explanation:

This is an error about the uncertainty or error in the calculated quantities.

Let's work all the magnitudes is the SI system

The frequency of oscillation is

        f = n / 2π L² √( E /ρ)

where n is an integer

Let's calculate the magnitude of the oscillation

       f = n / 2π (0.2335)² √ (210 10⁹/7800)

       f = n /0.34257 √ (26.923 10⁶)

       f = n /0.34257    5.1887 10³

       f = 15.1464 10³ n

a) We are asked for the uncertainty of the frequency (Df)

       Δf = | df / dL | ΔL + df /dE ΔE + df /dρ Δρ

in this case no  error is indicated in Young's modulus and density, so we will consider them exact

       ΔE = Δρ = 0

       Δf = df /dL  ΔL

       df = n / 2π   √E /ρ   | -2 / L³ | ΔL

       df = n / 2π 5.1887 10³ | 2 / 0.2335³) 0.005 10⁻³

       df = n 0.649

Absolute deviations must be given with a single significant figure

        Δf = 0.7 n

b, c) The uncertainty with the width and thickness of the canteliver is associated with the density

 

In your expression there is no specific dependency so the uncertainty should be zero

The exact equation for the natural nodes is

          f = n / 2π L² √ (E e /ρA)

where A is the area of ​​the cantilever and its thickness,

In this case, they must perform the derivatives, calculate and approximate a significant figure

        Δf = | df / dL | ΔL + df /de  Δe + df /dA  ΔA

        Δf = 0.7 n + n 2π L² √(E/ρ A) | ½  1/√e | Δe

               + n / 2π L² √(Ee /ρ) | 3/2 1√A23  |

the area is

        A = b h

        A = 24.9  3.3  10⁻⁶

        A = 82.17 10⁻⁶ m²

        DA = dA /db ΔB + dA /dh Δh

        dA = h Δb + b Δh

        dA = 3.3 10⁻³ 0.005 10⁻³ + 24.9 10⁻³ 0.005 10⁻³

        dA = (3.3 + 24.9) 0.005 10⁻⁶

        dA = 1.4 10⁻⁷ m²

let's calculate each term

         A ’= n / 2π L² √a (E/ρ A) | ½ 1 /√ e | Δe

         A ’= n/ 2π L² √ (E /ρ)      | ½ 1 / (√e/√ A) |Δe

        A ’= 15.1464 10³ n ½ 1 / [√ (24.9 10⁻³)/ √ (81.17 10⁻⁶)] 0.005 10⁻³

        A '= 0.0266  n

        A ’= 2.66 10⁻² n

       A ’’ = n / 2π L² √ (E e /ρ) | 3/2  1 /√A³ |

       A ’’ = n / 2π L² √(E /ρ) √ e | 3/2  1 /√ A³ | ΔA

       A ’’ = n 15.1464 10³ 3/2 √ (24.9 10⁻³) /√ (82.17 10⁻⁶) 3 1.4 10⁻⁷

       A ’’ = n 15.1464 1.5 1.5779 / 744.85 1.4 10⁴

       A ’’ = 6,738 10²

we write the equation of uncertainty

     Δf = n (0.649 + 2.66 10⁻² + 6.738 10²)

The uncertainty due to thickness is

    Δf = 3 10⁻² n

The uncertainty regarding the area, note that this magnitude should be measured with much greater precision, specifically the height since the errors of the width are very small

     Δf = 7 10² n

 d)    Δf = 7 10² n

e) the natural frequency n = 1

       f = (15.1 ± 0.7) 10³ Hz

Batman (95kg) is standing on top of a 50m high building looking out over the city of Gotham. Given that he uses the potential en
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

47 kJoules (kJ)

Explanation:

Potential enegy on Earth is given by the relationship:

P.E. = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, and h is height. Since we are given metric values, we will look for an answer that is consistent with Joules, the metric measure of energy. 1 Joule is defined as 1 kg*m^2/s^2, so we wnat units of kg, m, and sec.

We are given:

m = 95kg

h = 50 meters

Earth's gravity, g is 9.8 m/s^2

Enter the data:

P.E. = mgh

P.E. = (95kg)(9.8m/s^2)(50m)

P.E. = 46550 kg*m^2/s^2 or 46550 Joules(J)

Since we only have 2 sig figs, and since 1kJ =- 1000J

We can state the potential energy is 47kJ.

Spiderman has 47kJ of potential energy for the start of any dive back to Earth. [He needed that same amount of energy to reach that height, but we don't know from where it came. A jump, helicopter, beamed up by Scotty, or tossed up by Doctor Octopus.]

What motion makes the acceleration unchanged?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

A truck accelerates From being stopped to 18 m/s in 5.5 seconds. A bus accelerates from being stopped to 24 m/s in 6.0 seconds.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The bus

Explanation:

a = (v-u)/t  

Where

a = acceleration

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

For truck to get its acceleration,

a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²

For bus to get its acceleration,

a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²

As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.
