Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their

Physics
1 answer:
natta225 [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

5.0 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

v_x = u cos \theta

where u is the initial speed and \theta=37.7^{\circ}. The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

d=v_x t = (ucos \theta)t

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.

Re-arranging for t,

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{d}{u cos \theta} (1)

Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

y=h+u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where:

y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon

h = 0 is the initial height

u_y = u sin \theta is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

y=(u sin \theta) \frac{d}{u cos \theta}- \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

y=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{gd^2}{2(dtan \theta -y)cos^2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.81)(1.95)^2}{2((1.95)(tan 37.7^{\circ}) -0.311)cos^2 37.7^{\circ}}}=5.0 m/s

A water tank has a mass of 3.64 kg when empty and 51.8 kg when filled to a certain level. What is the mass of the water in the t
mrs_skeptik [129]
Subtract the total mass of the tank and water by the mass of the empty tank. That will yield the mass of the water. 

51.8 - 3.64 = 48.16.

Your answer is 48.16 kg

A cart traveling at 0.3 m/s collides with stationary object. After the collision, the cart rebounds in the opposite direction. T
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

C.   In the first collision has twice the momentum as when it stays still ( second colllions)

Explanation:

To see which statement is correct, it is best to solve the problem, the momentum is equal to the variation of the moment

     I = Δp = m vf - m v₀

     I = m (vf -v₀)

Case 1. In car bounces, the initial speed is 0.3 m / s, say that this direction is positive, when the magnitude of the speed bounces it remains constant, but its direction is reversed (vf = -0.3 m / s)

    I₁ = m (-0.3 - 0.3)

    I₁ = -0.6 m

Case 2. The expensive one that still after the crash so its speed is zero (vf = 0)

    I₂ = m (0 - 0.3)

    I₂ = -0.3 m

Let's calculate the relationship between the two impulses

     I₁ / I₂ = -0.6m / -0.3m

     I₂ / I₂ = 2

When it bounces it has twice the momentum as when it stays still

Now let's analyze the answers:

A.   False The momentum changes

B. False. The momentum is less in the second collision

C. True.  The momentum is double in this collision

D. False. Can be calculated, because the mass is the same throughout the exercise and is eliminated in the equations

E. False.  When they say bounces it implies the same speed with the opposite direction

Which of the following is not an example of a physical property?
iVinArrow [24]
Of the options presented in this problem, the answer would be C. reactivity.

Physical property is commonly known to be a s observable property of matters. This means, as the name suggests, that the physical property can be observed without the use of special instrument and other things to observe. Another thing is that it can be measured and put on a value and a standard unit of measurement. The physical property helps a lot in differentiating matter to matter and also aids in determining their uses and hazards as well. The boiling point and freezing point go hand in hand as to they are opposite to each other and are observed by the application of heat and the application of cold environment, respectively. As for density, it can be observed with the object being in contact with an adequate amount of water, if it will sink, float, or stay in the middle.
