Answer:
5.0 m/s
Explanation:
The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is
where u is the initial speed and 
. The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is
where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.
Re-arranging for t,
(1)
Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is
where:
y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon
h = 0 is the initial height
is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation
and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:
Rain fall which is called run off
Answer:
0.438kg/ms-¹
Explanation:
Momentum, denoted by p, can be calculated by using the formula;
p = mv
Where;
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)
Momentum (p) of bird = 0.216 kg × 5.87 m/s = 1.268kg/ms-¹
Momentum (p) of crawling baby = 7.29 kg kg × 0.234 m/s = 1.706kg/ms-¹
Having calculated the momentum of the bird to be 1.268kg/ms-¹, and the momentum of the baby to be 1.706kg/ms-¹, the difference in momentum between the flying bird and the crawling baby is:
{1.706kg/ms-¹ - 1.268kg/ms-¹} = 0.438kg/ms-¹
It must be sliding friction, because the fish is already in motion.
Yes!
I think there are two ways you could go with this answer:
1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse.
2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.
