(Select al that apply.) O The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase. O The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would decrease. O The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would stay the same. O The vertical component of the fish's velocity would increase. O The vertical component of the fish's velocity would decrease.

(a) +2.60 m/s

The motion of the fish dropped by the seagul is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- a horizontal uniform motion, at constant speed

- a vertical motion, at constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, g=-9.8 m/s^2, downward)

In this part we are only interested in the horizontal motion. As we said the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its value when the fish reaches the ocean is equal to its initial value, which is the speed at which the seagull was flying (because it was flying horizontally):

v_x = +2.60 m/s

(b) -17.2 m/s

The vertical component of the fish's velocity instead follows the equation:

v_y = u_y +gt

where

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity, which is zero

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Since the fish reaches the ocean at t = 1.75 s, we can substitute this time into the formula to find the final vertical velocity:

v_y = 0+(-9.8)(1.75)=-17.2 m/s

where the negative sign indicates the direction (downward).

(c)

The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase

The vertical component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.

As we said from part (a) and (b):

- The horizontal component of the fish's velocity is constant during the motion and it is equal to the initial velocity of the seagull -> so if the seagull's initial speed increases, the horizontal velocity of the fish will increase too

- The vertical component of the fish's velocity does not depend on the original speed of the seagull, therefore it is not affected.

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= -  .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>

In the context of the loop and junction rules for electrical circuits, a junction is: Group of answer choices where a wire is co
o-na [289]

In the context of the loop and junction rules for electrical circuits, a junction is where three or more wires are joined.

Answer: Option 2

<u>Explanation: </u>

An electrical circuits consists of many points like branch, loop, junction, series, bridge, etc. So, loops are the ones where the output of one circuit will act as feedback of the same circuit. If two or more wires passes through a single point, then that point is termed as junction.

If two or three junction connect each other they are termed as branch. Like these several other parameters are there with different rules in the circuit system. For electrical circuits, junction and loop rules state that a junction is the point where more wires joined together.
