Part a at what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down an insect floating on the water surface located at a di

stance 0.800 m from the fish? assume that the fish is located very close to the surface of the pond and spits the water at an angle 60∘ above the water surface.

This is a simple projectile calculation. What we want is a vertical velocity such that the time the droplet spends going up and going back down to the surface exactly matches the time the droplet takes to travel horizontally 0.800 meters. The time the droplet spends in the air will is:
 V*sqrt(3)/2 ; Vertical velocity.
 (V*sqrt(3)/2)/9.8 ; Time until droplet reaches maximum height
 (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 ; Double that time for droplet to fall back to the surface.
 
 The droplet's horizontal velocity will be:
 V/2.
 
 So the total distance the droplet travels will be:
 d = (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 * V/2
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 
 Let's substitute the desired distance and solve for V
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 0.8 = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 15.68 = V^2*sqrt(3)
 15.68/sqrt(3) = V^2
 15.68/1.732050808 = V^2
 3.008795809 = V 
 So after rounding to 3 significant figures, the archerfish needs to spit the water at a velocity of 3.01 m/s 
 Let's verify that answer.
 Vertical velocity: 3.01 * sin(60) = 3.01 * 0.866025404 = 2.606736465
 Time of flight = 2.606736465 * 2 / 9.8 = 0.531987034 seconds. 
 Horizontal velocity: 3.01 * cos(60) = 3.01 * 0.5 =

A line contains the points (4,5) and (3, -9). Write the equation of the line using point-slope form.
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

original formula is: y - y1 = m (x - x1) ordinates= (x1, y1)

insert the a corresponding x and y coordinate:

y + 3 = -2 (x + 9)

Don't forget to change the signs depending on whether their positive or negative:

(3, -9) since 3 is positive but there is a minus in the formula it would be -3

since -9 is negative and in the equation there's a minus sign you would change it to positive. (negative times a negative equals a positive)

The missing expression should be for Step 3 is [(25 + 3)/0.5] - 16.4 ÷ 4 and the missing expression should be for Step 6 is 56 - 4.1

<h3>Part A: Explain what the missing expression should be for Step 3</h3>

To do this, we make use of the expression in step 2

The expression in step 2 is

[(5^2 + 3)/0.5] - 16.4 ÷ 4

The next step at this stage is to evaluate the expression 5^2

So, we have:

[(25 + 3)/0.5] - 16.4 ÷ 4

Hence, the missing expression should be for Step 3 is [(25 + 3)/0.5] - 16.4 ÷ 4

<h3>Part B: Explain what the missing expression should be for Step 6.</h3>

To do this, we make use of the expression in step 5

The expression in step 5 is

56 - 16.4 ÷ 4

The next step at this stage is to evaluate the expression 16.4 ÷ 4

So, we have:

56 - 4.1

Hence, the missing expression should be for Step 6 is 56 - 4.1
