I'm assuming the question is what is the robin's speed relative to to the ground...

Create an equation that describes its relative motion.

rVg = rVa + aVg


Substitute values.

rVg = 12 m/s [N] + 6.8 m/s [E]


Use vector addition.

| rVg | = √ | rVa |² + | aVg |²

| rVg | = √ 144 m²/s² + 46.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = √ 19<u>0</u>.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = 1<u>3</u>.78 m/s


Find direction.

tanФ = aVg / rVa

tanФ = 6.8 m/s / 12 m/s

Ф = 29°


Therefore, the velocity of the robin relative to the ground is 14 m/s [N29°E]

A ball thrown straight up climbs for 3.0 sec before falling. Neglecting air resistance, with what velocity was the ball thrown?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Speed, u = 29.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that, A ball thrown straight up climbs for 3.0 sec before falling, t = 3 s

Let u is speed with which the ball is thrown up. When the ball falls, v = 0

Using first equation of motion as :

v = u + at

Here, a = -g

So, u = g × t

u=9.8\times 3

u = 29.4 m/s

So, the speed with which the ball was thrown is 29.4 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What frequency is received by the ambulance after reflecting from a wall near the person watching the oncoming ambulance (as in
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

f=896Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Vs(speed of the ambulance)={(104 km/h)*(1000m*(1 h/3600)}=28.9m/s

f(frequency of the ambulance siren)=821 Hz

v(speed of sound)=345 m/s

Vo(speed of the observer)=0 m/s

To find

f(The ambulance is approaching the person)

Solution

From Doppler effect

f^{i}=(\frac{v+v_{o} }{v-v_{s} })f

As the ambulance approaches the we assign a positive sign for speed "vs" of the ambulance

So

f^{i}=(\frac{v+0}{v-(+v_{s}) } )f\\f^{i}=(\frac{v}{v-v_{s} } )f

Substitute the values from given data

f^{i}=(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-28.9m/s} )821Hz\\f^{i}=896Hz

omeli [17]
Vf = vi + at
vf = 6 + (2)(12)
vf = 6 + 24
vf = 30

2as = vf² - vi²
2(2)s = (30)² - (6)²
4s = 900 - 36
4s = 864

Tema [17]

Answer:

3.39724 seconds

23.0824792352 m, 101.917520765 m

13.58896 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

The equation of motion will be

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 125=30\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 2t^2+30t-125=0\ m

t=\frac{5\left(\sqrt{19}-3\right)}{2},\:t=-\frac{5\left(3+\sqrt{19}\right)}{2}\\\Rightarrow t=3.39724, -18.39724

The time at which the cars collide is 3.39724 seconds

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 3.39724^2\\\Rightarrow s=23.0824792352\ m

Car B traveled 23.0824792352 m and Car A traveled 125-23.0824792352 = 101.917520765 m

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+4\times 3.39724\\\Rightarrow v=13.58896\ m/s

The speed of car B is 13.58896 m/s
