Gulls are often observed dropping clams and other shellfish from a height to the rocks below, as a means of opening the shells.

If a seagull drops a shell from rest at a height of 16 m, how fast is the shell moving when it hits the rocks

Answer:

v = 17.71 m / s

Explanation:

We can work this exercise with the kinematics equations. In general the body is released so that its initial velocity is zero, the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity

                v² = v₀² - 2 g (y -y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2g (y -y₀)

when it hits the stone the height is zero and part of the height of the seagull I

              v² = 2g y₀

              v = Ra (2g i)

let's calculate

              v =√ (2 9.8 16)

              v = 17.71 m / s

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t
Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

What is the threshold velocity vthreshold(water) (i.e., the minimum velocity) for creating Cherenkov light from a charged partic
VladimirAG [237]

Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

A

   v_w  =  2.256 *10^{8} \  m/s

B

  v_e  =  2.21 *10^{8} \  m/s

C

The  correct option is  B  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The refractive  index of water is  n_w  =  1.33

      The  refractive  index of ethanol is  n_e  =  1.36

       

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light   from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

       v_w  =  \frac{c}{n_w }

Where  c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

       v_w  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.33 }

       v_w  =  2.256 *10^{8} \  m/s

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light   from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

            v_e  =  \frac{ c}{n_e }

  =>       v_e  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.36 }

=>          v_e  =  2.21 *10^{8} \  m/s
