A frog falls from its rainforest tree. If we ignore wind resistance, (a) how much time does it take the frog to fall a distance

of 12.0 m? (b) how fast is the frog falling at this point?

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt²

S is the distance of fall

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given S = 12.0m, g = 9.81m/s^2, un= 0m/s

12 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

12 = 4.905t²²²

t² = 12/4.905

t² = 2.446

t = √2.446

t = 1.56secs

b) To determine how fast is the frog falling at this point, we need to calculate the speed of the frog. Using the equaton v = u+gt

v = 0+9.81(1.56)

v = 15.34m/s

Hence the frog is falling at the rate of 15.34m/s

A copper rod at 25°C is 2.5 m long. How long would it take a sound to move through the rod from one end to another? how would I
andrew-mc [135]
Length of the copper rod = 2.5 meters
Speed at which sound travels through copper = 3560 meter per second
Let us assume the time taken
by sound to cover the given distance = x seconds
We already know that 
Speed = Distance/ Time
Then
Time = Distance/ Speed
x = 2.5/3560 seconds
   = 0.0007 seconds.
This can ve done by hitting one end of the rod and then receiving the sound at the other end and using the stop clock to measure the time taken.

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor
Bess [88]

Answer:

a) The final velocity is 20 m/s when the large-mass object is the one moving initially.

b) The final velocity is 9.0 m/s when the small-mass object is the one moving initially.

Explanation:

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momenta of each object. Each momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p =  momentum.

m =  mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system is the following:

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = (m1 + m2) · v

Where:

m1 = mass of the bigger object.

v1 = velocity of the bigger object.

m2 = mass of the smaller object.

v2 = velocity of the smaller object.

v = final velocity of the two objects after the collision.

Solving the equation for the final velocity:

(m1 · v1 + m2 · v2)/ (m1 + m2) = v

a) Let´s calculate the final velocity when the bigger object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 29 m/s + 3.2 kg · 0)/(7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 20 m/s</u>

b) When the smaller object is moving:

(7.1 kg · 0 m/s + 3.2 kg · 29 m/s) / (7.1 kg + 3.2 kg) = v

<u>v = 9.0 m/s</u>

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3
kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, a=25.4\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

v=u+at

v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s    

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

v^2=u^2+2ax_o

x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m  

Let x_o is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)

Now a=-g and v and u will interchange

u^2=2g(x-x_o)

x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
