Starting from rest, a 2.1x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts

an average upward force of 0.41 N on it. This force does 3.7x10-4 J of work on the flea. (a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground? (b) How far upward does the flea move while it is pushing off? Ignore both air resistance and the flea's weight.

Answer:

1.327363 m/s

0.00090243 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of flea

Energy

E=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.7\times 10^{-4}=2.1\times 10^{-4}(v^2-0)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.32736\ m/s

The velocity of the flea when leaving the ground is 1.327363 m/s

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{F}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{0.41}\\\Rightarrow s=0.00090243\ m

The flea will travel 0.00090243 m upward

A whale comes to the surface to breathe and then dives at an angle 24 degrees to the horizontal surface of the water. The whale
WARRIOR [948]

Given that,

A whale dives at an angle of 24 degrees to the horizontal surface of the water.

The whale continues in a straight line 145 m.

To find,

The horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale.

Solution,

The horizontal component of displacement is :

d_x=d\cos\theta\\\\=145\times \cos(24)\\\\=132.46\ m

The vertical component of displacement is :

d_y=d\sin\theta\\\\=145\times \sin(24)\\\\=58.97\ m

<h3>Hence, the horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale are 132.46 m and 58.97 m.</h3>

What happens to the speed of the electrons when the resistance is decreased?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

they slow down

Explanation:

Because number of electrons remain same in the closed circuit or wire, due to conservation of charge in any case. But due to addition of a external resistor current will decreases, by applying ohm's law( V=IR).

A runner runs 10 miles in 1 hour. how far could they run in 2 hours in m/s?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4.47 m/s.

Explanation:

distance traveled, d = 10 miles

time, t = 1 hour

Speed of the runner, v = d / t

Speed of the runner = 10 miles / 1

Speed of the runner = 10 mph

1 mph ----------------------- 0.44704 m/s

10 mph -----------------------?

= 4.47 m/s

Thus, in 2 hours the distance traveled will change but the speed it still 10 mph or 4.47 m/s.

What is the danger to spacecraft and astronauts from micrometeoroids?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg

Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)

Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground

v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s

KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules

One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy
