A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc

ky beach 2.10 s later. just before the clam lands, what is (a) its horizontal component of velocity, and (b) its vertical component of velocity? (c) how would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the speed of the crow were increased? explain.

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

$v_x = 2.70 m/s$

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8$

$v_f = 20.6 m/s$

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

Which of the following explains how an executive order differs from a law?

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Executive Orders state mandatory requirements for the Executive Branch, and have the effect of law. They are issued in relation to a law passed by Congress or based on powers granted to the President in the Constitution and must be consistent with those authorities.

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration ( $a$ ) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> ( $a_{r}$ ) and <em>tangential</em> ( $a_{t}$ ), in meters per square second:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$ (1)

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$ (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

$\omega$ - Angular speed, in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$ (4)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $r = 0.1\,m$ , $\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 0.60\,s$ , then the total linear acceleration is:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$

$\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}$

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$

$a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$

$a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$

$a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.
