7) A crazy cat (yes, this is redundant) is running along the roof of a 60 m tall building. The cat is moving at a constant veloc

ity of 44 m/s when it runs out of roof and launches horizontally, becoming a projectile. Determine the distance from the base of the building to the landing site of the cat measured along the ground. Also, determine the total flight time of the cat from launch to impact. Finally, determine the impact velocity of the cat with the ground.

Answer:

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time is 3.5 s.

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity vectors of the cat are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector of the cat at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive).

v = velocity vector of the cat at time t.

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the launching point so that x0 and y0 = 0. In a horizontal launch, initially there is no vertical velocity, then, v0y = 0.

When the cat reaches the ground, the position vector of the cat will be r1 (see figure). The vertical component of r1 is -60 m and the horizontal component will be the horizontal distance traveled by the cat (r1x). Then, using the equation of the y-component of the position vector, we can obtain the time of flight and with that time we can obtain the horizontal distance traveled by the cat:

r1y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-60 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

- 60 m = -4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / - 4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

The cat reaches the ground in 3.5 s

Now, we can calculate the horizontal component of r1:

r1x = x0 + v0 · t

r1x = 0 m + 44 m/s · 3.5 s

r1x = 154 m

The distance from the base of the building to the landing site is 154 m.

The total flight time was already calculated and is 3.5 s.

The velocity vector of the cat when it reaches the ground will be:

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

v = (44 m/s, 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s)

v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s)

The magintude of the vector "v" is calculated as follows:

|v| = \sqrt{(44 m/s)^{2}+(-34.3 m/s)^{2}} = 55.8 m/s

At the moment of impact, the velocity vector of the cat is v = (44 m/s, -34.3 m/s) and its magnitude is 55.8 m/s.

A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill, as shown in the image below. If
kherson [118]

The minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

A boy is trying to roll a bowling ball up a hill. The friction is ignored.  The ball must have to reach the top of the hill with a velocity. The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.

M.E bottom of hill = M.E on top of hill

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Kinetic energy  + Potential energy

1/2 mu² + 0 =  0 + mgh

At the top of hill, the velocity will become zero. So, final kinetic energy is zero.

Substituting the values, we have

1/2 x u² = 9.8 x 22.5

u = sqrt [2 x9.8 x 22.5 ]

u= 21 m/s

Thus, the minimum initial velocity that the ball must have for it to reach the top of the hill is 21 m/s.

What is the instantaneous velocity of the hummingbird at t=1s?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The distance - time graph of the humming bird is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the attached graph, at time t = 1 s, the corresponding distance is 0.5 m.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at that point.

Thus;

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5/1

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

How are human cheek cells and human skin cells similar and different​
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

human cheek cell has got a nucleus, rbc doesnot

human cheek cell is found in the cheeks n made there whereas rbc is made in the bonemarrow and found in blood

human cheek cell serves the function of supplying nutrition to cheek by simply exchange while rbc transports oxygen around the body..

cheek cell can reproduce rbc cannot asit is non nucleated.The epithelial cells in the lining of the mouth are referred to as basal mucosa and divide roughly every 24 hours. They can easily be obtained through a simple swab or a mouth rinse. The cheek cell is very simple, but it contains the entire genetic makeup of the person's body. For this reason, cheek cells are frequently used to establish paternity and other investigations involving DNA. More recently, researchers have discovered that the cheek cell can be used to measure a person's likelihood of having high blood pressure.

A human cheek cell is thin, flat and irregularly shaped and has a large nucleus that contains the DNA. Its plasma membrane helps the cell to maintain suitable temperature while giving it its shape. Since it is selectively permeable, it only allows certain molecules into and out of the cell. Its cytoplasm contains water that dissolves nutrients and enzymes. It is an animal cell so it is different from plant cell.and the difference will be same as that with animal cell

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

v=1.08\times 10^7\ m/s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the electron, u = 0

The charge per unit area of each plate, \dfrac{Q}{A}=1.69\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates, d=1.75\times 10^{-2}\ m

An electron is released from rest, u = 0

Using equation of kinematics,

v^2-u^2=2ad..........(1)

Acceleration of the electron in electric field, a=\dfrac{qE}{m}............(2)

Electric field, E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}............(3)

From equation (1), (2) and (3) :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2q\sigma d}{m\epsilon_o}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.69\times 10^{-7}\times 1.75\times 10^{-2}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v = 10840393.1799 m/s

or

v=1.08\times 10^7\ m/s

So, the electron is moving with a speed of 1.08\times 10^7\ m/s before it reaches the positive plate. Hence, this is the required solution.
