(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.

A- 1000 m/s2<br> Xi-0m<br> Xf-0.75m<br> Vf-?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s    

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the object, a = 1000 m/s²

The initial displacement of the object, x_{i} = 0 m

The final displacement of the object,  x_{f} = 0.75 m

The initial velocity of the object will be, v_{i} = o m/s

The final velocity of the object, v_{f} = ?

The average velocity of the object,

                                    v = ( x_{f} - x_{i} )/ t

                                      = 0.75 / t

The acceleration is given by the relation

                                     a = v / t

                                   1000 m/s² = 0.75 / t²

                                            t² = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴

                                            t = 0.027 s

Using the I equation of motion,

                                  v_{f} = u + at

Substituting the values

                                   v_{f} = 0 + 1000 x 0.027

                                                           = 27 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s

What is the magnitude of the sum of the two vectors A = 36 units at 53 degrees, and B =47 units at 157 degrees.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11)   Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82

After a nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, its new mass number is:
Ivanshal [37]
Radioactive "decay" means particles and stuff shoot OUT of a nucleus.
After that happens, there's less stuff in the nucleus than there was before.
So the new mass number is always less than the original mass number.

An athlete competing in long jump leaves the ground with a speed of 9.14 m/s at an angle of 35.00 above the horizontal. What is
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

      R = 8.01 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the projectile launch equations. The jump length is the throw range

           R = v₀² sin  2θ / g

in the exercise they give us the initial speed of 9.14 m / s and in the launch angle 35º

let's calculate

           R = 9.14² sin (2  35) / 9.8

           R = 8.01 m

this is the jump length
