Answer:

The solution to this question is as follows

Hence the x component of the initial velocity of the Chinook salmon is 2 m/s

The y component of the initial velocity of the salmon to scale the waterfall is 5.3 m/s

see explanation below

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to list out the known values from where the number of unknowns and the right equation of motion can be decided thus;

Height of the waterfall = 1.43m

Distance of the fish from the base of the ledge over which the water fall flows = 1.08m

Thus the equations of motion required include

v² = u² - 2×g×S and

v = u -g×t

where u is the the initial velocity we have

v = 0 for vertical velocity at the top of the ledge

thus u = gt at the top of the ledge and S = 1.43m

this gives (gt)²-2×1.43×g =0 or

2.86 =gt² or t² = 2.86÷9.81 = 0.29 or t = 0.54s

From where the vertical component of the velocity = 9.81×0.54 = 5.3m/s

similarly the horizontal component can be found by v = distance÷time

= (horizontal distance from the bottom of the ledge) ÷ (the time it takes to scale the ledge) = 1.08÷0.54 = 2 m/s

Hence the x component of the initial velocity of the Chinook salmon is 2 m/s

The y component of the initial velocity of the salmon to scale the waterfall is 5.3 m/s

An object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m. 

The parameters given from the question are:

Mass M = 2kg

Height h = 20m

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.

From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E

Maximum P.E = mgh

Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J

But

K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula

392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2

V^2 = 392

V = sqrt( 392 )

V = 19.8 m/s

V = 20 m/s approximately

What is a stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second?
julia-pushkina [17]

A stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second will be 40 m^{3}/sec .

Discharge rate = velocity * area

                 = velocity * depth * width

                 = 2 * 2 * 10 = 40 m^{3}/sec

A stream’s discharge rate if it has a width of 10 meters, a depth of 2 meters, and a velocity of 2 meters per second will be 40 m^{3}/sec .

A set of charged plates 0.00262 m apart has an electric field of 155 N/C between them. What is the potential difference between
mylen [45]

Answer: The potential difference between the plates = 0.4061V

Explanation:

Given that the

Electric field strength E = 155 N/C

Distance d = 0.00262 m

From the definition of electric field strength, is the ratio of potential difference V to the distance between the plates. That is

E = V/d

Substitute E and d into the above formula

155 = V/0.00262

Cross multiply

V = 155 × 0.00262

V = 0.4061 V

The potential difference between the plates is 0.4061 V

What is a gravitational wave and why was it so hard to detect?
Alika [10]

Answer:

gravitational waves are ripples in spece-time caused primarily when objects are accelerated and the energy for the acceleration is transpoted as gravitational radiation.

they are difficult to detect because they require very sensitive technology or you will have to wait unitl black holes collide.
