Answer:
the sides of the wedge are inclined.
Explanation:
The wedge is a triangular simple machine with a blunt face and two inclined faces. The distribution of forces in a wedge is because the sides of the wedge are inclined.
Answer:
Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.
Answer:
2.35 seconds
Explanation:
Remark
This is a question where direction matters. Let us call down + and up minus. It won't matter. The answer will be the same.
Formula
a = (vf - vi)/t
Givens
a = 9.8 m/s^2
vi = - 15 m/s
vf = 8m/s
Solution
9.8 = (8 - - 15)/t Multiply both sides by t
t * 9.8 = 23 Divide by 9.8
t = 23/9.8
t = 2.35 s
The best thing to do in this case is to redo the experiment and re record the info, it has to be precise and accurate so you also have to check if your procedure is correct. If the results are both accurate and precise then you have to report your findings to the committee of that specific field. <span />
Here we go.
My abbreviations; KE = Kinetic Energy; GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy.
So first off, we know the fish has KE right when the bird releases it. Why? Because it has horizontal velocity after released! So let’s calculate it:
KE = 1/2(m)(V)^2
KE = 1/2(2)(18)^2
KE = 324 J
Nice!
We also know that the fish has GPE at its maximum height before release:
GPE = mgh
GPE = (2)(9.81)(5.40)
GPE = 105.95 J
Now, based on the *queue dramatic voice* LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, we know all of the initial energy of the fish will be equal to the amount of final energy. And since the only form of energy when it hits the water is KE, we can write:
KEi + GPEi = KEf
(Remember - we found the initial energies before!)
(324) + (105.95) = KEf
KEf = 429.95J
And that’s you’re final answer! Notice how this value is MORE than the initial KE from before (324 J) - this is because all of the initial GPE from before was transformed into more KE as the fish fell (h decreased) and sped up (V increased).
