An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 3.10 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 6.10 m

below. Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water. (Assume that the eagle is flying in the x-direction and that the y-direction is up.)

Answer:

10.93m/s with the assumption that the water in the lake is still (the water has a speed of zero)

Explanation:

The velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water surface is equal to the resultant velocity between the fish and the water when it hits it.

The fish drops on the water surface vertically with a vertical velocity v. Nothing was said about the velocity of the water, hence we can safely assume that the velocity if the water in the lake is zero, meaning that it is still. Therefore the relative velocity becomes equal to the velocity v with which the fish strikes the water surface.

We use the first equation of motion for a free-falling body to obtain v as follows;

v = u + gt....................(1)

where g is acceleration due to gravity taken as 9.8m/s/s

It should also be noted that the horizontal and vertical components of the motion are independent of each other, hence we take u = 0 as the fish falls vertically.

To obtain t, we use the second equation of motion as stated;

h=ut+gt^2/2.................(2)

Given; h = 6.10m.

since u = 0 for the vertical motion;  equation (2) can be written as follows;

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2............(3)

substituting;

6.1=\frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2\\6.1=4.9t^2\\hence\\t^2=6.1/4.9\\t^2=1.24\\t=\sqrt{1.24}=1.12s

Putting this value of t in equation (1) we obtain the following;

v = 0 + 9.8*1.12

v = 10.93m/s

Back then, Robert Hooke found cells from a cork and named it cells. Later on, Matthias Schleiden found cells from plant parts and concluded that all plants are made of cells. Theodor Schwann, after observing many different animal cells, concluded that all animal have cells. Several years later, Rudolf Virchow hypothesized that cells divide to form new cells. Virchow proposed that every living organism has cells. His observations and conclusions and those of others are summarized in the cell theory

A uniform horizontal bar of mass m1 and length L is supported by two identical massless strings. String A Both strings are verti
NeX [460]

Answer:

a)  T_A = \frac{g}{d}\ ( m_2 x + m_1 \ \frac{L}{2} ) ,  b) T_B = g [m₂ ( \frac{x}{d} -1) + m₁ ( \frac{L}{ 2d} -1) ]

c)  x = d - \frac{m_1}{m_2} \  \frac{L}{2d},  d)  m₂ = m₁  ( \frac{ L}{2d} -1)

Explanation:

After carefully reading your long sentence, I understand your exercise. In the attachment is a diagram of the assembly described. This is a balancing act

a) The tension of string A is requested

The expression for the rotational equilibrium taking the ends of the bar as the turning point, the counterclockwise rotations are positive

      ∑ τ = 0

      T_A d - W₂ x -W₁ L/2 = 0

      T_A = \frac{g}{d}\ ( m_2 x + m_1 \ \frac{L}{2} )

b) the tension in string B

we write the expression of the translational equilibrium

       ∑ F = 0

       T_A - W₂ - W₁ - T_B = 0

       T_B = T_A -W₂ - W₁

       T_ B =   \frac{g}{d}\ ( m_2 x + m_1 \ \frac{L}{2} )  - g m₂ - g m₁

       T_B = g [m₂ ( \frac{x}{d} -1) + m₁ ( \frac{L}{ 2d} -1) ]

c) The minimum value of x for the system to remain stable, we use the expression for the endowment equilibrium, for this case the axis of rotation is the support point of the chord A, for which we will write the equation for this system

         T_A 0 + W₂ (d-x) - W₁ (L / 2-d) - T_B d = 0

at the point that begins to rotate T_B = 0

          g m₂ (d -x) -  g m₁  (0.5 L -d) + 0 = 0

          m₂ (d-x) = m₁ (0.5 L- d)

          m₂ x = m₂ d - m₁ (0.5 L- d)

          x = d - \frac{m_1}{m_2} \  \frac{L}{2d}

 

d) The mass of the block for which it is always in equilibrium

this is the mass for which x = 0

           0 = d - \frac{m_1}{m_2} \  \frac{L}{2d}

         \frac{m_1}{m_2} \ (0.5L -d) = d

          \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{ d}{0.5L-d}

          m₂ = m₁  \frac{0.5 L -d}{d}

          m₂ = m₁  ( \frac{ L}{2d} -1)
