A gray kangaroo can bound across level ground with each jump carrying it 8.7 from the takeoff point. Typically the kangaroo leav

es the ground at a 29 angle. If this is so:a)What is its takeoff speed?b)What is its maximum height above the ground?

Answer:

a) The takeoff speed is 10 m/s.

b) The maximum height above the ground is 1.2 m.

Explanation:

The position of the kangaroo and its velocity at any given time "t" can be calculated by the following equations:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

v =(v0 · cos α, v0 · sin α + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial velocity.

α = jumping angle.

y0 = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity vector at time "t"

a) Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem. In red is depicted the position vector at the final time (r final). The components of r final are known:

r final = (8.7 m, 0 m)

Then at final time:

8.7 m = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

0 m = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

(notice in the figure that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0). Then:

8.7 m = v0 · t · cos α

Solving for "v0":

8.7 m /(t · cos α) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component, we can obtain the final time:

0 m = 8.7 m · tan 29° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t² (remember: sin α / cos α = tan α)

- 8.7 m · tan 29° / -4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 0.99 s

Now, we can calculate the initial speed:

8.7 m /t · cos α = v0

v0 = 8.7 m / (0.99 s · cos 29°)

<u>v0 = 10 m/s</u>

The takeoff speed is 10 m/s

b) When the kangaroo is at its maximum height, the velocity vector is horizontal (see figure). That means that the y-component of the velocity at that time is 0:

0 = v0 · sin α + g · t

Solving for "t":

-v0 · sin α / g = t

t = - 10 m/s · sin 29° / 9.8 m/s²

t = 0.49 s

Notice that we could have halved the final time (0.99 s, calculated above) to obtain the time at which the kangaroo is at its maximum height. That´s because the trajectory is parabolic.

Now, let´s find the height of the kangaroo at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 10 m/s · 0.49 s · sin 29° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (0.49 s)²

<u>y = 1.2 m</u>

The maximum height above the ground is 1.2 m.

Tin shear have longer handles than than the scissor used to cut cloth give reason​
natka813 [3]

Answer:

For scissor, small movement at effort(at handle) should make long movement of load arm , so that it can cut longer lengths of cloth/paper. Hence blades are longer than handle.so its handle(load arm) is made longer than its blades.

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 160 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 30 psia. D
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Temperature : 92.9 F

Internal Energy change: -2.53 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

As

mh1=mh2

h1=h2

In table A-11 through 13E

p2=120Psi, h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm,

u1=41.49

So T1=90.49 F

P2=20Psi

h2=h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm

T2= -2.43F

u2= 38.96 Btu/lbm

T2-T1 = 92.9 F

u2-u1 = -2.53 Btu/lbm
