When chasing a hare along a flat stretch of ground, a greyhound leaps into the air at a speed of 10.1 m/s, at an angle of 16.9°

above the horizontal. (a) What is the range of his leap? (b) For how much time is he in the air?

Answer:

a) The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s

Explanation:

The position of the greyhound is given by the position vector "r":

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

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time.

α = leap angle.

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

a) At the end of the leap, the position vector will be "r final" (see figure). The vector r final could be written as:

r final = (x, 0 m)

Where "x" is the range.

Then, using the equation for the vertical position we can obtain the time of flight of the leap. With that time, we can calculate the range using the equation for the horizontal position.

Then:

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

0 m = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · t · sin 16.9° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 m = t (10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t)

0 m = 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t

- 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° / - 4.9  m/s²  = t

t = 0.600 s

The x-component of the vector "r final" will be:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · 0.600 s · cos 16.9°

x = 5.80 m

The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s. It was calculated above using the equation for the y-component of the vector "r final".

Let the resistance of an electrical component remain constant while the potential difference across the two ends of the componen
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The current through it will also decrease to half of its former value because according to Ohm's law the current flowing through a resistor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its ends provided that the temperature and some other necessary conditions remain constant.

This is mathematically represented as follows;

V=IR.........(1)

The current is thus given as

I=\frac{V}{R}..............(2)

if R is constant and V is reduced to half, then we have the following;

I=\frac{V/2}{R}

Simplifying further we obtain

I=\frac{V}{2R}...........(3)

Equation (3) shows that the current I is also reduced to half.

A piece of transparent material that is used to focus light and form a image
Soloha48 [4]

Convex Lenses are used to focus light and form a image. They are transparent.

They are one type of lenses. Different type of lenses are used to focus light differently. The basic lenses are concave and convex. Convex lenses converge light falling on it whereas concave lenses diverge light falling on it.

66. Calculate the displacement and velocity at times of (a) 0.500 s, (b) 1.00 s, (c) 1.50 s, and (d) 2.00 s for a ball thrown st
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) t=1s

y = 10.1m

v=5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y =11.475 m

v=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y =10.4 m

v=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply the free fall formula for position (y) and speed (v) at any time (t).

As gravity opposes movement the sign in the equations is negative.:  

y = vi*t - ½ g*t2 Equation 1

v=vit-g*t  Equation 2

y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  

vi: Initial speed

g= acceleration due to gravity

v= Speed the ball moves at time t  

Known information

We know the following data:

Vi=15 m / s

g =9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

t=1s ,1.5s,2s

Development of problem

We replace t in the equations (1) and (2)  

a) t=1s

y = 15*1 - ½ 9.8*1^{2}=15-4.9=10.1m

v=15-9.8*1 =15-9.8 =5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y = 15*1.5 - ½ 9.8*1.5^{2}=22.5-11.025=11.475 m

v=15-9.8*1.5 =15-14.7=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y = 15*2 - ½ 9.8*2^{2}= 30-19.6=10.4 m

v=15-9.8*2 =15-19.6=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

A person is riding a motorized tricycle. They weigh 180kg and are moving at 3 m/s over a distance of 300 m. How much work is don
agasfer [191]

If I am to understand this question correctly this is what asks you:

If a person is riding a motorized tricycle how much work do they do?

You may ask yourself, why did I only use part of the question. Simple, the rest is not relevant to what is being asked. The weight, speed, and distance wont affect the person riding any <em><u>motorized vehicle</u></em> other than the time it takes to get from one place to another.

So to answer this question I would say:

Not much, all they really have to do is to steer and set the motorized tricycle to cruise control. Just like any rode certified vehicle.

If you have any questions about my answer please let me know and I will be happy to clarify any misunderstandings. Thanks and have a great day!
