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

Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered
storchak [24]
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1
