(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.

6. An object accelerates from rest to 70 m/s in 3.5 s. What is the acceleration of the object?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is 20 meters per second square = 20 m/s^2

Explanation:

Recall that acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided the time it takes for the change. Therefore , if the object accelerates from rest (zero velocity) to 70 m/s , the change in velocity is (70 m/s - 0 m/s = 70 m/s)

which divided by the 3.5 seconds it took for the change, gives:

acceleration = (70 m/s  /  3.5 s ) = 20  m/s^2

A pendulum makes 60 vibrations in 15 secs what’s its frequency
o-na [289]

Answer:

4 hertz

Explanation:

The defination of freqyency = the total no of cycle made by a wave in one second .

so,

cycle or vibrations=60

tame taken = 15

now,

frequency = no. of cycle / time taken

= 60/15

=4 hertz

hence, the its frequency = 4hertz

how fast will and in what direction will a 20kg object accelerate if one force pushes at a 30 degree angle and another pushes at
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

\theta=75^o

Explanation:

<u>Net Force And Acceleration </u>

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

\vec F_n=m\vec a

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are

\vec F_1=

\vec F_1=\ N

The components of the second force are

\vec F_2=

\vec F_2=\ N

The net force is

\vec F_n=

\vec F_n=\ N

The magnitude of the net force is

|F_n|=\sqrt{14.64^2+54.64^2}

|F_n|=\sqrt{3200}=56.57\ N

The acceleration has a magnitude of

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{|F_n|}{m}

\displaystyle |a|=\frac{56.57}{20}

|a|=2.83\ m/s^2

The direction of the acceleration is the same as the net force:

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{54.64}{14.64}

\theta=75^o

12. An organ pipe that is 1.75 m long and open at both ends produces sound of
podryga [215]

Answer:

354 m/s

Explanation:

For the second overtune (Third harmonic) of an open pipe,

λ = 2L/3................................ Equation 1

Where L = Length of the open pipe, λ = Wave length.

Given: L = 1.75 m.

Substitute into equation 1

λ = 2(1.75)/3

λ = 1.17 m.

From the question,

V = λf.......................... Equation 2

V = speed of sound in the room, f = frequency

Given: f = 303 Hz.

Substitute into equation 2

V = 1.17(303)

V = 353.5

V ≈ 354 m/s

Hence the right answer is 354 m/s
