A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.45 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. The clam lands on the roc

ky beach 2.30 s later. Consider the moment just before the clam lands. (Neglect air resistance.). . a)What is its horizontal component of velocity? (in m/s). (b) What is its vertical component of velocity? (in m/s)

<span>Neglecting air resistance, the horizontal velocity will not have changed (i.e. it remains 2.45 m/s). The vertical velocity starts at 0 m/s and accelerates for 2.30 s (due to gravity). 9.8 = (x-0)/2.3 x = 22.54 Therefore your vertical velocity is 22.54 m/s.
</span>a) It would remain the same, because there is no force, and thus acceleration, in that direction. So, it would just be 2.45 m/s. b) Use<span>v=<span>v0</span>+at</span> Because <span>v0</span><span>=0 in the y direction, it is just v=at It said that t=2.3 s, and a=9.8. Plug that in... v=2.3*9.8=22.54 m/s</span>

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m

Sveta_85 [38]
The Pacific plate collides with and is subducted under four other crustal plates. The area where this happens has lots of volcanic activity. This area is called the Ring of Fire. This is a place under the Pacific Ocean and it has numerous volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and so this region is called the Ring of Fire. In this place there are about 450 active and dormant volcanoes and it is almost 75 percent of the volcanoes present in our earth.

A ball is thrown w a speed of 30m/s at an angle of 10. When is the vertical component of the velocity equal to zero
irga5000 [103]

Now the vertical velocity of the ball thrown at an angle 10° is given as

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 30m/s x sin 10

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 5.2m/s

Now the ball is decelerating with an acceleration due to gravity equivalent to 9.8m/s^2.

Let Vy be the final velocity and that is equal to zero in this case.

Now

Vy= Voy- tx9.8

Where t is the time at which the vertical velocity becomes 0.

Substituting the values we get

0= 5.2-tx9.8

9.8t=5.2

t=0.53 secs
