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

Find the volume of the irregular object a marble
Lostsunrise [7]

By using Displacement method we can find volume of irregular object like marble.

<h3>What is displacement method?</h3>

In displacement method,  

First , we measuring the volume of water displaced by an object which tell us the volume of the object.

Secondly We can use the physical balance to determine its mass.

Lastly , calculate the density by dividing the mass by the volume.

Procedure to find the Volume of irregular object i.e. marble

step 1 - Fill the graduated cylinder about half full and measure the initial volume of water.

step 2 - Drop the marble in the graduated cylinder.

step 3 -Now measure the final level of water.

Step 4 - Subtract both the values.

Here , comes the Volume of Irregular Object.

Help, please! Thank you for your kind gesture
blagie [28]

Answer:

The last option.

Explanation:

Since you are going down, the gravitational potential energy would go down too. Thus, the gravitational potential energy decreases.

Since the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when you move down, there is an increase in kinetic energy.

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum?A) 16B) 2^(1/2)
worty [1.4K]

Answer: \sqrt{2}

The linear momentum p is given by the following equation:

p=m.v   (1)

Where m is the mass and v the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy K is given by:

K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}   (2)

Which is the same as:

K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

2K=2\frac{p^{2}}{2m}  

2K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}   (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of \sqrt{2} or 2^{1/2}:

Applying this in (2):

K=\frac{(\sqrt{2}p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{(2p)^{2}}{2m}

K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}>>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B
