Answer:

v = 9.07 m/s

the vertical component of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.07 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 4.6 m/s

Initial horizontal velocity uh = 4.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity uy = 0

Height to fall d = 4.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

The final vertical velocity of the fish when it hits the water can be calculated using the equation of motion;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = uy^2 + 2gd

uy = 0

v^2 = 2gd

v = √(2gd)

Substituting the given values;

v = √(2×9.8×4.2)

v = 9.073036977771 m/s

v = 9.07 m/s

the vertical component of the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.07 m/s

You travel in a circle, whose circumference is 8kilometers, at an average speed of kilometer/hour. If you stop at the same point
dimaraw [331]

You skipped over a number in the question, and you didn't tell me what my average speed is. Lucky for you, my average speed has NO EFFECT on the answer to the question.

When you calculate velocity, you only use the straight-line distance between the start-point and the end-point. It doesn't matter what route the thing took to get there, or how much ground it actually covered.

If I travel in a circle and stop at the same point I started from, then the size of the circle doesn't matter, and neither does my speed. The distance between my start-point and my end-point is zero, and my average velocity is zero.

A tourist averaged 82km/hr for a 6.5h trip in her volkswagen. how far did she go?
Whitepunk [10]
82 ÷ 6.5 = 12.615384615384... repeating
round = 12.6
12.6 · 6.5 = 81.9
round = 82
She went an average of 12.6 km an hour
Hope this helps! ;)

Una persona tiene 45 años de edad y una masa de 78 kg. ¿Cuántas horas ha vivido? ¿Cuál
Pavel [41]

Answer:

I will answer this in English.

He has 45 years.

a year has 365 days.

a day has 24 hours.

So he has:

45*365*24  hours = 394,200 hours.

His mass is 78 kg,

And we know that 1 slug = 1lbf*ft/s^2

Then, the first step is transform the 78 kg into lbf.

1kg = 2.2 lbf.

then 78kg = 78*2.2 lbf = 171.6lbf.

Now, the weight is m*g, where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration, in this case the gravitational acceleration in ft/s^2 is:

g =  32.2 ft/s^2

Then the weight in slugs is:

W = 32.2ft/s^2*171.6lbf = 5,525.5 slugs
