Explanation:
In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.
One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.
(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.
One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m
The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m
Then, the hypotenuse is:
(1)
Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:
(2)
yo: initial height = 230m
vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s
g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2
y: final height of the mouse = 3 m
You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:
The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.
You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:
The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s
(b) The angle is given by:
Then angle between the horizontal and the trajectory of the Hawk when it is descending is 80.9°
(c) The mouse is falling down during 6.8 s
Answer:
The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward.
Explanation:
According to the law of moments when the same force is applied at a greater distance from the pivot then the effect of moment is greater about that point.
<u>Mathematically momentum is given as:</u>
where:
F is the applied force at a distance 'r' acting in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the point of application and the hinge.
- Moment is the rotational effect of the applied force on the body.
<em>When the boy of a heavier mass than the girl was sitting on a balanced see-saw then it is certain that he was closer to the hinge than the girl to balance the turning effect (in case of an unbiased see-saw). When the body moves farther his weight is same but the radial distance from the hinge increases which increases his moment of weight.</em>
