Answer:

30000 J = 30 kJ

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object solely due to its motion.

You can get the K.E. of an object using the equation,

K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

So you get,

K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} 600×10^{2}$

= 30000 J = 30 kJ

If the archerfish spits its water 30 degrees from the horizontal aiming at an insect 1.2 m above the surface of the water, how f

Burka [1]

Answer:

The speed is $v = 9.8 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The angle made is $\theta = 30^o$

The distance above the surface of the water is $h_{max} = 1.2 \ m$

The value of $g = 10 \ m/s^2$

The maximum height attained by the fish is mathematically evaluate as

$h_{max} = \frac{v^2 sin ^2 \theta }{2g }$

Making v which is the speed of the fish the subject of the formula

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2gh_{max}}{ sin^2 \theta } }$

substituting values

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10 *1.2 }{ [sin (30)]^2 } }$

$v = 9.8 \ m/s$
