Answer:
(A) 9.5 m/s
(B) 5.225 m
Explanation:
vertical height (h) = 4.7 m
horizontal distance (d) = 9.3 m
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}
initial speed of the fish (u) = 0 m/s
(A) what is the pelicans initial speed ?
- lets first calculate the time it took the fish to fall
s = ut + 
since u = 0
s = 
t =
where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height
t =
= 0.98 s
- pelicans initial speed = speed of the fish
speed of the fish = distance / time = 9.3 / 0.98 = 9.5 m/s
initial speed of the pelican = 9.5 m/s
(B) If the pelican was traveling at the same speed but was only 1.5 m above the water, how far would the fish travel horizontally before hitting the water below?
vertical height = 1.5 m
pelican's speed = 9.5 m/s
- lets also calculate the time it will take the fish to fall
s = ut + 
since u = 0
s = 
t =
where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height
t =
= 0.55 s
distance traveled by the fish = speed x time = 9.5 x 0.55 = 5.225 m
Answer:
Since energy can be measured as work, we can write energy = force x distance. Thus SI derived unit of energy has the units of newtons x meter or kg m2/s2.
Explanation:
Answer:
27,000 m
450 m/s
Explanation:
Assuming the initial velocity is 0 m/s:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 15 m/s²
t = 60 s
A) Find: Δy
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (15 m/s²) (60 s)²
Δy = 27,000 m
B) Find: v_avg
v_avg = Δy / t
v_avg = 27,000 m / 60 s
v_avg = 450 m/s
