Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. In a typical strike, the chameleon'

s tongue accelerates at a remarkable 210 m/s^2 for 20 ms, then travels at constant speed for another 30 ms.
During this total time of 50 ms, 1/20 of a second, how far does the tongue reach?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

  x_total = 0.17m

Explanation:

We can treat this exercise with the kinematics equations, where in the first part it is accelerated and in the second it is a uniform movement.

Let's analyze accelerated motion

The time that lasts is t = 20 10⁻³ s, the initial speed is zero (v₀ = 0), let's find the length that advances

            x₁ = v₀ t + ½ a t²

            x₁ = ½ a t²

            x₁ = ½ 210 (20 10⁻³)²

            x₁ = 4.2 10⁻² m

 

let's find the speed for the end of this movement

            v = v₀ + a t

            v = 0 + 210   20 10⁻³

            v = 4.2 m / s

with this speed we can find the distance that the uniform movement

           x₂ = v t2

           x₂ = 4.2   30 10⁻³

           x₂ = 1.26 10⁻¹ m

           x₂ = 0.126m

the total distance traveled is

          x_total = x₁ + x₂

          x_total = 0.0420 +0.126

          x_total = 0.168m

           

     Let's reduce the significant figures to two

          x_total = 0.17m

A ski tow operates on a slope of angle 15.6 ∘ of length 340 m . The rope moves at a speed of 12.7 km/h and provides power for 53
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

P = 34034.2 Watt

Explanation:

As we know that the slope angle is given as

\theta = 15.6^0

now the weight of the rider along the slope is given as

W = mgsin\theta

W = 69(9.81)sin15.6

W = 182 N

now total weight of all 53 riders along the slope is given as

F = 53 W

F = 9647.5 N

now the speed of the rope is given as

v = 12.7 km/h = 3.53 m/s

now the power required is given as

P = F.v

P = 9647.5(3.53)

P = 34034.2 Watt
