Mature salmon swim upstream, returning to spawn at their birthplace. During the arduous trip they leap vertically upward over wa

terfalls as high as 2.83 m. With what minimum speed (in m/s) must a salmon launch itself into the air to clear a 2.83-m waterfall

Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

Julian tests four springs and records the results in the table
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

list of spring in order of increasing spring constant is given by,

W, Y, X, Z

Explanation:

Spring W:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 20 / 0.5

k = 40 N/m

Spring X:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 60 / 0.3

k = 200 N/m

Spring Y:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 40 / 0.4

k = 100 N/m

Spring Z:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 50 / 0.1

k = 500 N/m

Thus, list of spring in order of increasing spring constant is given by,

W, Y, X, Z

The 225-N force is exerted on the crate towards the north and the 165-N is exerted toward the East what's the magnitude and dire
Rudik [331]

Answer:

≅279.02 N, 36° 15' from North to East

Explanation:

You can the theory of triangle of forces to find the answer.

Two forces are acting perpendicular to each other so use Pythagoras theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant  force(x).

x² = 225² + 165²

x = 279.02 N

To find the direction use the same force triangle,

Why does the transition of light waves from water to air make it seem as if fish and other things in a pond are shallower then t
adell [148]
An object seen in the water will usually appear to be at a different depth than it actually is, due to the refraction of light rays as they travel from the water into the air. This tutorial explores how fish, observed from the bank of a pond or lake, appear to be closer to the surface than they really are.
