An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 9 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bush

es 90.0 m away attempting to subdue the monkey with a tranquilizer gun. The vet knows that the moment the gun fires, the monkey will be frightened and fall down from the branch. At what angle up from the ground must the veterinarian aim the gun so that the tranquilizer dart will hit the falling monkey? Given the angle, what is minimum speed at which the tranquilizer dart must leave the gun to still hit the monkey?

Answer:

The hunter should aim directly at the perched monkey because the tranquilizer dart will fall away from the line sight at the same rate that the monkey falls from its perch.

Tan theta = 9 / 90 = .1      so theta = 5.71 deg

The time for the monkey to reach the ground is

t = (2 h / g)^1/2 = (18 / 9.8)^1/2 = 1.36 sec

So the horizontal speed of the dart must be at least

Vx = 90 m / 1.36 sec = 66.4 m/s

Vx = V cos theta

V = 66.4 m/s / cos 5.71 = 66.7 m/s

sammy [17]

The force exerted by student A with his scooter is 306 N and that of student B is 204 N.

<h3>Force applied by each student</h3>

The force exerted by each student is calculated from Newton's second law of motion.

F = ma

where;

  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

F(A) = 127.5 x 2.4

F(A) = 306 N

F(B) = 120 x 1.7

F(B) = 204 N

Thus, the force exerted by student A with his scooter is 306 N and that of student B is 204 N.

What is the relationship between karst development and topography?
mylen [45]
The karst topography is typically defined as a geographic location characterized by a rugged terrain containing landscapes like underground rivers, fissures, and cracks. It is mainly due to the dissolution of the bedrock due to a much heavier precipitation taking place in the geographic location.
