A fox locates its prey under the snow by slight sounds rodents make. The fox then leaps straight into the air, and then burrows

its nose into the snow to catch its meal. If a fox jumps up to a height of 79 cm, calculate (a) the speed at which the fox leaves the snow, and (b) how long the fox is in the air. Ignore air resistance.m/s:s:You throw a baseball directly upward at time t = 0 at an initial speed of 12.9 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? At what times does the ball pass through half the maximum height? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s2.Maximum height:Earlier time at half maximum height:Later time at half maximum height:

Answer:

1.a) 3.93 m/s

 b) 0.80 s

2. a) 8.49 m

   b) 0.39 s

 

Explanation:

1. a) The speed at which the fox leaves the snow can be found as follows:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} - 2gH

Where:

g: is the gravity = 9.80 m/s²

v_{f}: is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height)

v_{0}: is the initial speed =?

H: is the maximum height = 79 cm = 0.79 m

v_{0} = \sqrt{2gH} = \sqrt{2*9.80 m/s^{2}*0.79 m} = 3.93 m/s

Hence, the speed at which the fox leaves the snow is 3.93 m/s.

b) The time at which the fox reaches the maximum height is given by:

v_{f} = v_{0} - gt

t = \frac{v_{0} - v_{f}}{g} = \frac{3.93 m/s}{9.80 m/s^{2}} = 0.40 s

Now, the time of flight is:  

t_{v} = 2t = 2*0.40 s = 0.80 s

2. a) The maximum height the ball reaches is:

H = \frac{v_{0}^{2} - v_{f}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(12.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.80 m/s^{2}} = 8.49 m

Then, the maximum height is 8.49 m.

b) The time at which the ball passes through half the maximum height is:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Taking y₀ = 0 and y_{f} = 8.49/2 = 4.245 m we have:

4.245 m -12.9m/s*t + \frac{1}{2}*9.80m/s^{2}*t^{2} = 0  

By solving the above quadratic equation we have:

t = 0.39 s

Therefore, the time at which the ball passes through half the maximum height when the ball is going up is 0.39 s.

I hope it helps you!

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 8.00 kg solid cylinder with diameter of 30.0 cm. The cylinder rotates with negligi
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

h = 16.67m

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy of the cylinder is 510J:

Kc=510=1/2*Ic*\omega c^2

\omega c=\sqrt{510*2/Ic}

Where the inertia is given by:

Ic=1/2*m_c*R_c^2=1/2*(8)*(0.15)^2=0.0225kg.m^2

Replacing this value:

\omega c=106.46rad/s

Speed of the block will therefore be:

V_b=\omega_c*R_c=106.46*0.15=15.969m/s

By conservation of energy:

Eo = Ef

Eo = 0

Ef = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h

So,

0 = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h

Solving for h we get:

h=16.67m

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N
