A pelican flying along a horizontal path drops a fish from a height of 5.4 m. The fish travels 8.0 m horizontally before it hits

the water below. What is the pelican’s speed?

Answer:

Speed, Vfx = 7.619 m/s

Explanation:

Vertical distance, Dx = 5.4m

Horizontal distance, Dy = 8m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²

Initial speed, Vix = 0m/s²

To find the speed, we would use the second equation of motion to find the time, t;

Dx = Vixt + ½gt²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

5.4 = 0(t) + ½(9.8)*t²

5.4 = 0 + 4.9t²

Rearranging the equation, we have;

4.9t² = 5.4

t² = 5.4/4.9

t² = 1.1020

Taking the square root of both sides;

t = 1.050 secs.

For the speed;

Dy = Vfxt

Vfx = Dy/t

Vfx = 8/1.050

Vfx = 7.619 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of the pelican is 7.619 m/s</em>

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?

Tcecarenko [31]

The weight of the meterstick is:
$W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N$
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
$d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m$
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
$M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm$

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
$(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm$
from which we find the value of d2:
$d_2 = \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m$

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant
