Answer:

V₀ = 5.47 m/s

Explanation:

The jumping motion of the Salmon can be modelled as the projectile motion. So, we use the formula for the range of projectile motion here:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range of Projectile = 3.04 m

θ = Launch Angle = 41.7°

V₀ = Minimum Launch Speed = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

3.04 m = V₀² [Sin2(41.7°)]/(9.81 m/s²)

V₀² = 3.04 m/(0.10126 s²/m)

V₀ = √30.02 m²/s²

<u>V₀ = 5.47 m/s</u>

saveliy_v [14]
The spectrum of light from the moon should very strongly resemble the spectrum of sunlight. The reason is that any light from the moon started out from the sun. Any difference in their spectra is only due to the moon absorbing more of some wavelengths and less of others. But since the moon appears colorless gray, we don't expect any particular colors to be strongly absorbed, otherwise the moon would look to be the colors of the light that's left.

a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work
ioda

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.
