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>

Please answer ASAP for brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Question #1- Scientists agree to a standard way of reporting measured quantities in which the number of reported digits reflects the precision in the measurement- more digits, more precision; less digits, less precision. You just studied 14 terms!

Question #2-  Units are important because without proper measurement and units to express them, we can never express physical laws precisely just from qualitative reasoning. Units are incredibly important to physics. Two of the most important reasons are the following: (1) they help us. to avoid making mistakes in computation, and (2) they serve as a check on computations once they are completed. In the first case, you can avoid adding 3m and 25cm and coming up with the wrong answer.

Explanation: Hope this helps please mark brainliest!

Encuentre en km.h la velocidad de un tigre que corre 550 km.h en 69min​
Len [333]

Answer:

v = 478.26 km/h

Explanation:

The question is "find in km.h the speed of a tiger that runs 550 km in 69min"

Distance, d = 550 km

Time, t = 69 min = 1.15 h

We need to find the speed of the tiger. The speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{550\ km}{1.15\ h}\\\\v=478.26\ km/h

So, the speed of the tiger is 478.26 km/h.

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

Olivia places her pet frog on a line to observe the frog’s motion. The line is divided into sections that measure 1 centimeter e
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the forward displacement is taken is positive, and the backward displacement is taken is negative.

first displacement = + 18 cm

second displacement = - 6 cm

third displacement = - 12 cm

net displacement = 18 - 12 - 6 = 0 cm
