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

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?
vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary  on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?
Snezhnost [94]
If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.

There are competitions in which pilots fly small planes low over the ground and drop weights, trying to hit a target. A pilot fl
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Also 3s.

Explanation:

Each component is independent in two dimensional motion. This means that <em>how much time does something take to reach the ground when dropped is independent from any horizontal velocity</em>. If at one run a drop lasts 3s, at another run with twice the (horizontal) velocity and same height will also last 3s, no matter what.

An air bubble has a volume of 2.0 cm3 when it is released by a submarine 100 m below the surface of a freshwater lake. What is t
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

21.35 cm^3

Explanation:

let the volume at the surface of fresh water is V.

The volume at a depth of 100 m is V' = 2 cm^3

temperature remains constant.

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m^3

Pressure at the surface of fresh water is atmospheric pressure,

P = Po = 1.013 x 10^5 N/m^2

The pressure at depth 100 m is P' = Po + hdg

P' = 1.013 \times 10^{5}+ 100 \times 1000 \times 9.8

P' = 10.813 x 10^5 N/m^2

Use the Boyle's law

P V = P' V'

1.013 \times 10^{5}\times V = 10.813 \times 10^{5}\times 2

V = 21.35 cm^3

Thus, the volume of air bubble at the surface of fresh water is 21.35 cm^3.
