A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

the vessel. Can the vessel outrun the torpedo if both continue in a straight line due north?
A) Yes, the Navy vessel is faster

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

C) Maybe, since both travel at the same speed

D) Maybe, based on the temperature of the water

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

A 0.20-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to an ideal massless spring whose spring constant is 360 N/m. T
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The answer is 41,4 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

To understand this problem we need to visualize when block is at the equilibrium position and when the displacement is x=-2,3.10^{-2}.

According to Newton's law F=ma, if we find the force applied to the block, we can find the acceleration since we know the mass of the block.

<u>If you compress a spring by x displacement under F force, the spring's force can be found as:</u>

F_{spring} =kx

Therefore F=360\frac{N}{m} .2,3.12^{-2} =8,28N

And to find <u>acceleration</u>:

F=ma → 8,28=0,20a → a=41,4\frac{m}{s^{2}}

kramer
Chameleon's tongue is more fast than thought. Its long sticky tongue moves at an amazing ballistic speed which lashes out unsuspecting insects and bugs. Now let us see how fast it is.

GIven:

acceleration of the chameleon's tongue- 260 m/s
2 for 20 ms
constant speed 30 ms
50 ms total time
1/20 of a second

solution:

<u>260</u> = <u>  n</u><u>  </u>
20       50
<u>20 n </u>= <u>13, 000</u>
20            20
n= 650 m/s
