Archerfish are tropical fish that hunt by shooting drops of water from their mouths at insects above the waterÂs surface to knoc

k them into the water, where the fish can eat them. a 65-g fish at rest just at the surface of the water can expel a 0.30-g drop of water in a short burst of 5.0 ms. high-speed measurements show that the water has a speed of 2.5 m/s just after the archerfish expels it.

Answer:

.012

Explanation:

Take the mass of the fish and divide it by the mass of the water:

65/.30=216.667

Divide the given speed by the value we found above:

2.5/216.667=.0115

Answer can be rounded up to .012

The speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water is about (b) 0.012 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

$\large {\boxed {F = ma }$

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<em><u>The Question:</u></em>

<em>What is the speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water? </em>

<em>(a) 0.0025 m/s; </em><em>(b) 0.012 m/s</em><em>; (c) 0.75 m/s; (d) 2.5 m/s.</em>

<u>Given:</u>

mass of fish = m₁ = 65 g

mass of drop of water = m₂ = 0.30 g

speed of water = v₂ = 2.5 m/s

initial speed of water = initial speed of archerfish = u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

<u>Asked:</u>

the speed of the archerfish = v₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Conservation of Momentum Law </em><em>as follows:</em>

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2$

$65(0) + 0.30(0) = 65v_1 + 0.30(2.5)$

$0 + 0 = 65v_1 + 0.75$

$65v_1 = -0.75$

$v_1 = -0.75 \div 65$

$\boxed{v_1 \approx -0.012 \texttt{ m/s}}$

Calculate the frequency of visible light having a wavelength of 410 nm

maria [59]

Given: Wavelength λ = 410 nm convert to Meters m = 4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Required: Frequency f = ?

Formula: c = λf

f = c/λ

f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s/4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

f = 7.32 x 10¹⁴/s or 732 Thz (Terahertz)

In a game of angry birds you launch a bird with an angle of 53 degrees to horizontal. Unfortunatly, its not a good shot and the

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

The horizontal distance covered is 9.81 m.

The total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

Explanation:

The launch speed, $u_0= 10 m/s$ .

Angle of launch with the horizontal, $\theta = 53 ^{\circ}$

So, the vertical component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\sin\theta=10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}\cdots(i)$ .

The horizontal component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\cos\theta=10 \cos 53 ^{\circ}$

Let, t be the time of flight, to the horizontal distance covered

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})t\cdots(ii)$ .

Not, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

$s= ut +\frac 1 2 at^2$

Where s is the displacement in time t, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

In this case, $u =10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}$ (from equation (i), s=0 (as the final height is same as the launch height) and $a = -9.81 m/s^2$ (negative sign is due to the downward direction).

$\Rightarrow 0 = 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})t-\frac 1 2 (9.81)t^2$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac {2\times 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})}{9.81}=1.63$ seconds.

So, the total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

From equation (i),

Total horizontal distance covered is

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})\times 1.63 = 9.81 m$ .

Now, for the maximum height, H, applying the equation of motion as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, v is the final velocity and v=0 (at the maximum height), and h=H.

So, $0^2=(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2-2(9.81)H$

$\Rightarrow H = \frac {(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2}{2\times 9.81}$

$\Rightarrow H = 3.25 m$ .

Hence, the maximum height covered is 3.25 m.
