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

one group of atoms on the periodic tables are known as "noble gases". why have they been given this name?​
maria [59]
This group is called “noble gases” because they do not react with other elements. This is because they have a full valence shell.

A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 15 m/s
daser333 [38]

The distance the package above the ground when it was released, s ≈ 530 meters

<h3 /><h3>What are kinematic equations?</h3>

The kinematic equation of motion gives the interrelationships of the variables of motion.The correct option for the distance the package above the ground when it was released, is the third option;

It is given that:

The velocity of the helicopter from which the package was dropped = 15 m/s

The time it takes the package to strike the ground = 12 seconds

The required parameter:

The height of the package from the ground when it was dropped

The kinematic equation of motion relating distance, s, time, t, acceleration due to gravity, g, initial velocity, u, and final velocity, v, is applied as follows;

The package continues the upward motion for some time, t₁, given as follows;

Upward motion of the package

v = u - g·t₁

v = 0 at highest point reached by the package;

Therefore;

0 = 15 m/s - 9.81 m/s²  × t₁

t₁ = 15 m/s/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 1.5295022 seconds

The time the package takes to return to the initial starting point, t₂ = t₁

The time the package falls after returning to the point it was dropped, t₃, is given as follows;

t₃ = t - (t₂ + t₁) = t - 2 × t₁

∴ t₃ = 12 s - 2 × 1.5295022 s ≈ 8.940996 s

From the symmetry of the motion of a projectile, the velocity of the package when returns to its staring point where it was dropped = u (Downwards) = 15 m/s

The distance the package falls, s, which is the distance the package above the ground when it was released, is given as follows;

s = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

s = 15× 8.940996  + (1/2) × 9.81 × 8.940996² = 526.22755346 ≈ 530

The distance the package falls, s ≈ 530 m = The height of the

The distance the package above the ground when it was released, s ≈ 530 meters

What comes first the color orange or the fruit orange
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Given the exoticism of the orange fruit, you could be forgiven that the color came first as it naturally occurs independent of the fruit such as in sunsets or leaves in autumn. Orange actually comes from the Old French word for the citrus fruit - 'pomme d'orenge' - according to the Collins dictionary.

A) Spherically symmetric about a point in the constellation Sagittarius and concentrated in that direction

Explanation:

The globular clusters are present mainly in the direction of Sagittarius with the center of the system of globular cluster being measured as a spherical cluster cloud such that the center of the Milky Way can be taken as being in the Sagittarius constellation
