In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the

shell cracks. If a seagull flies to a height of 23.1 m, how long will the clam take to fall? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of sec.

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 15 meters per second and an initial vertical velocity of 25 meters per second
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the projectile is a uniform motion with constant speed, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal acceleration is zero.

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is

v_x = 15 m/s

and it is constant during the motion;

the total time of flight is

t = 5 s

Therefore, we can apply the formula of the uniform motion to find the horizontal displacement of the projectile:

d= v_x t =(15 m/s)(5 s)=75 m

il63 [147K]

<h2> The potential and kinetic energy of airplane are affected by these factors </h2>

Explanation:

When airplane rises up , it requires potential energy . This potential energy can be taken from the kinetic energy of airplane .

Thus if the speed of wind is larger , it can either oppose the motion of velocity or can favour the velocity of airplane  . By which its kinetic energy is effected .

If the weight of airplane is changed , it will effect the potential energy required . Thus heavier plane requires higher potential energy for attaining the same height .

Thus these two factor has important role in the flight of airplane .
