A chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.5 m high. If the fish starts from a distance of 1.00 m from the base of the

ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y- components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory. Can the fish make this jump? ( A Chinook salmon can jump out of the water with a speed of 6.26m/s)

 <span>let the fsh jump with initial velocity (u) in direction (angle p) with horizontal 

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m 
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range 
--------------------------------------... 
let t be top height time 
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0 
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt 
t = u sin p/g 
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2 
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g 
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5 
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4 
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component 
===================== 
t = HALF the time of flight 
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g] 
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g 
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8 
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8 
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component 
check>> 
u = sqrt[u^2 cos^2 p + u^2 sin^2 p] = 5.71 m/s 
u < less than fish's potential jump speed 6.26 m/s 

so it will able to cross</span>

What is Archimedes principle?​
trasher [3.6K]

Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is a first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged hull that we call centre of buoyancy.

2.List two changes an unbalanced force can cause.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

By applying an unbalanced force, you can change the motion of an object. Unbalanced forces can make an object at rest start moving, make a moving object stop, or change the direction and speed of the object.

How does a distance-time graph show you which direction the runner is moving? Use your own words and science vocabulary.
Dmitry [639]

In a distance time graph, when the x and y values are positive (in first quadrant), the runner is moving forward.

While, if the distance value ( in the y axis) is negative, the runner is moving backwards ( towards the start) .

Hope it helps :)
