Answer:

The ability to adapt is important because :

1) It helps in the survival of human beings.

2) It brings more variation to the human kind.

3) It helps the species from getting endangered or extinct.

4) It brings transformation in the adapting kind.

Hope this helps you☺️☺️

Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the

Zina [86]

The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
$\Delta h$ is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
$\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J$
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.

A diver jumps off a cliff 50m high and needs to clear the rock that extend outward 5.0m from the base of the cliff. The diver ju

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

He should run at least at 1.5 m/s

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position and velocity of the diver are given by the following vectors:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

v = velocity vector at time t

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0.

We know that, to clear the rocks, the position vector r final (see figure) should be:

r final = ( > 5.0 m, -50 m)

So let´s find first at which time the y-component of the vector r final is - 50 m:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = 2.1 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 2.1 m/s · t + 50 m

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 3.4 s

Now, we can calculate the initial horizontal velocity using the equation of the x-component of the position vector knowing that at t =3.4 the horizontal component should be greater than 5.0 m:

x = x0 + v0x · t (x0 = 0)

5.0 m < v0x · 3.4 s

v0x > 5.0 m / 3.4 s

v0x > 1.5 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity should be greater than 1.5 m/s

To find the angle at which the diver enters the water, we have to find the magnitude of the final velocity (vector vf in the figure). We already know the magnitude of the x-component of the vector vf, since the horizontal velocity is constant. So:

vfx > 1.5 m/s

Now, let´s calculate vfy:

vfy = v0y + g · t

vfy = 2.1 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.4 s

vfy = -31 m/s

Let´s calculate the minimum magnitude that the final velocity will have if the diver safely clears the rocks. Let´s consider the smallest value allowed for vfx: 1.5 m/s. Then:

$|v| = \sqrt{(1.5 m/s)^{2} + (31m/s)^{2}} = 31 m/s$

Then the final velocity of the diver will be greater or equal than 31 m/s.

To find the angle, we have to use trigonometry. Notice in the figure that the vectors vf, vfx and vy form a right triangle in which vf is the hypotenuse, vfx is the adjacent side and vfy is the opposite side to the angle. Then:

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse = vfx / vf = 1.5 m/s / 31 m/s

θ = 87°

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

A gun fires a bullet vertically into a 1.40-kg block of wood at rest on a thin horizontal sheet. If the bullet has a mass of 22.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A. 1.172 metres

B. 6.82 Ns

C. 4.796 m/s

Explanation:

The total initial momentum is gotten by multiplying the mass and initial velocity of the both bodies.

The 1.40 kg block is at rest so velocity is zero and has no momentum.

The bullet of mass 22 g = 0.022 kg with velocity of 310 m/s

Momentum = 310*0.022

Momentum = 6.82 Ns.

If the bullet gets embedded they will both have common velocity v

6.82 = (0.022+1.40)v

6.82 = 1.422v

V = 6.82/1.422

V = 4.796 m/s

How high the block will rise after the bullet is embedded is given by

H = (U²Sin²tita)/2g

Where tita is 90°

H = (4.796² * sin²(90))/(2*9.81)

H =( 23.001616*1)/19.62

H = 1.172 metres

Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is r

devlian [24]

Answer:

$F_{net} = 31.88 N$

Explanation:

When top block is just or about to slide on the lower block then we can say that the frictional force on it will be maximum static friction

So we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

$F_s = ma$

$\mu_s mg = ma$

$a = \mu_s g$

$a = (0.50)(9.81)$

$a = 4.905 m/s^2$

now for the Net force on two blocks to move together

$F_{net} = (m_1 + m_2) a$

$F_{net} = (2.3 + 4.2)(4.905)$

$F_{net} = 31.88 N$

3. When does the iron core in an electromagnet become magnetic?

rosijanka [135]

Answer: When electricity flows through it.

Explanation:

The electromagnet exhibits magnetic properties only as soon as current flows through the nucleus. Namely, the electric current in the space around the electrical conductor through which it passes creates a magnetic field. Unlike a permanent magnet, which has a permanent property of magnetism, the electromagnet is a temporary magnet because the magnetic field also disappears when the current ceases.
