1.44Ns

6.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 230g = 0.23g

height of fall = 2m

Unknown:

Impulse = ?

velocity on impact = ?

Solution:

We are going to apply one of the equations of motions to solve this problem.

The most appropriate one is:

V² = U² + 2gH

where V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is acceleration due to gravity as the body falls with aid of gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height of fall

since the body was initially at rest, U = O

V² = 2gH

V = √2 x 9.8 x 2 = 6.3m/s

Impulse = mass x velocity = 0.23 x 6.3 = 1.44Ns

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is $\mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta$ .

The given parameters;

mass of the block, = M
coefficient of static friction in section 1, = $\mu_s_1$
angle of inclination of the plane, = θ

The normal force on the block is calculated as follows;

Fₙ = Mgcosθ

The static friction exerted on the block by the incline is calculated as follows;

$F_s = \mu_s F_n\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1(Mg cos\ \theta)\\\\F_s = \mu _s_1 Mgcos\ \theta$

Thus, the static friction exerted on the block by the incline is $\mu _ s _1 Mgcos \ \theta$

A migrating bird flew across a lake at an average speed of 18 meters per second. Was the distance that the bird flew across the

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

It cannot be said with 100% guarantee.

Explanation:

Since bird is travelling with 18 meters per second, that means that it covers a distance of 18 meters in 1 second.

for part 1 we convert 20 minutes into seconds, thus, 20 * 60 = 1200 seconds.

Distance covered in 1200 seconds will be:

S = v * t (S is distance , v is speed, t is time)

18 * 1200 = 21600 meters = 21.6 Kilometers

If the bird took less than 20 minutes than distance covered would be less than 21.6 Kilometer which could be greater than or lesser than 21 Kilometers. On average we can say that the distance bird travelled will be less than 21 Kilometer. But it is not definite.

For part B convert 0.4 hours into seconds to find the distance it travelled.

0.4 * 60 * 60 = 1440 seconds

Distance covered will be

18 * 1440 = 25920 meters = 25.9 Kilo meters.

Again, if the bird takes less than 0.4 hours to cover the lake, the lake will be less than 25.9 kilometers long. This means that it could be greater than or lesser than 21 kilometers. It cannot be definitive
