A big red fish with a mass of 20 kg swims with a velocity of 2 m/s toward a small, stationary green fish which has a mass of 10

kg. The big red fish opens its mouth and swallows the small green fish. What will the big red fish's velocity be immediately after swallowing its meal?​

Answer:

1.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

M1  = 20kg

V1  = 2m/s

V2 = 0m/s

M2  = 10kg

Unknown:

V  = ?

Solution:

As with all systems, the momentum must be conserved and it implies that the starting and ending momentum be the same.

  M1 V1  +  M2 V2  = V (M1 + M2)

M1 is the mass of the big red fish

V1 is the velocity of the big red fish

V2 is the velocity of the green fish

M2 is the mass of the green fish

V is the velocity after swallowing

           (20 x 2) + (10 x 0)  = V (20 + 10)

                      40  = 30V

                      V  = 1.33m/s

Jason and Guy are throwing watermelons straight up from the ground. (They’re making fruit salad.) Jason throws his watermelon at
NISA [10]

Answer:2t

Explanation:

Given

Jason throwing watermelon at speed v and it spend t time in air

time to reach max height

v_f=u_i+at'

0=v-gt'

t'=\frac{v}{g}

and time to reach bottom is also t'

t=2t'

t=2\frac{v}{g}

For guy throws his watermelon at speed 2v

So total time in air will be

t''=2\frac{2v}{g}

t''=4\frac{v}{g}

t''=2t

You pull a 70-kg crate at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. If you pull with a force of 600N and the coefficient of kinetic
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of friction acting on the body = μ mg cosθ

= .4  x 70 x 9.8 x cos30

= 237.63 N

component of weight = mgsinθ

= 70 x 9.8 x sin30

= 343 N  

Net upward force = 600 - mgsinθ - μ mg cosθ

= 600 - 343 - 237.63

= 105.37 N

acceleration in upward direction = 105.37 / 70

= 1.5 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 1.5 x 3²

= 6.75 m .

A block of wood is floating in water; it is depressed slightly and then released to oscillate up and down. Assume that the top a
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

Equilibrium position in y direction:

W = Fb (Weight of the block is equal to buoyant force)

m*g = V*p*g

V under water = A*h

hence,

m = A*h*p

Using Newton 2nd Law

-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = Fb - W\\\\-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = p*g*(h+y)*A - A*h*p*g\\\\-A*h*p*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = y *p*A*g\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + \frac{g}{h} * y =0

Hence, T time period

T = 2*pi*sqrt ( h / g )
