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!

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?

<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>

Give examples of not useful high friction
Tatiana [17]
Friction can be bad by being too strong or too weak. 

<span>Sometimes, when it is too strong, it decreases efficiency since some energy is wasted and turns to heat. Friction can also d</span><span>amage equipment/objects like when you slide it on the floor.
</span>
When friction is too weak, like for instance when there is black ice- our center of gravity is displaced too quickly and we can fall. Likewise, if there is a lot of slush on the ground, cars can slip and slide.

Answer:

a. Constant gossiping, and talking negative about a student could cause them to feel very very ill about their beliefs, their familly, school, clothes, etc. this  scenario will make the student feel alienated.

b. The club should advise the students that they should not participate in these talks, allow them into their groups, and should try to talk people out of those conversations.

c. The advice will keep several kids pull away from talking negatively about the kid, help stop the ill intended gossip, and hopefully make them feel better.
