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

To test the performance of its tires, a car

velikii [3]

<u>Answer</u>:

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Radius of the track, r = 516 m

Tangential Acceleration $a_r$ = 3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v = 32.8 m/s

<u>To Find:</u>

The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road = ?

<u>Solution</u>:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

$a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}$

$a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}$

$a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2$

Now the total acceleration is

$\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2$

=> $= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}$

=> $19.4791 m/s^2$

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of static friction is

$\mu =\frac{f}{W}$

From (1) and (2)

$\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

Substituting the values, we get

$\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}$

$\mu =1.987$

Compute the dot product of the vectors u and v, and find the angle between the vectors. Bold v equals 7 Bold i minus Bold j and

OLga [1]

Answer:

$\theta = 106.3 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that

$\vec w = -\hat i + 7\hat j$

$\vec v = 7\hat i - \hat j$

also we know that

$\vec v. \vec w = -14$

it is given as

$\vec v. \vec w = (-\hat i + 7\hat j).(7\hat i - \hat j)$

$\vec v. \vec w = - 7 - 7 = -14$

also we can find the magnitude of two vectors as

$|v| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (7)^2}$

$|v| = \sqrt{50}$

similarly we have

$|w| = \sqrt{(7^2) + (-1)^2}$

$|w| = \sqrt{50}$

now we know the formula of dot product as

$\vec v. \vec w = |v||w| cos\theta$

$-14 = (\sqrt{50})^2cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-14}{50})$

$\theta = 106.3 degree$

Two resistors, 5.0 ohm's each can be combined to give an equivalent resistance of

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

2 possible answers:

1# 2.5 Ω (when the resistors are in parallel)

2# 10 Ω (when the resistors are in series)

Explanation:

there are two possible answers for this:

1# if the resistors are in parallel in the circuit

then:

1/R-equivalent=1/5+1/5

1/R-equivalent=2/5

R-equivalent=5/2=2.5 Ω

2# if the resistors are in series in the circuit

then:

R-equivalent=5+5

R-equivalent=10 Ω
