A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 2.85 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally

lets go of the fish, and 2.45 s after the bird lets go, the fish lands in the ocean.
a. Just before reaching the ocean, what is the horizontal component of the fish's velocity?
b. Just before reaching the ocean, what is the vertical component of the fish's velocity?
c. If the seagull's initial speed were decreased, which of the following regarding the fish's velocity upon reaching the ocean would be true?

1. The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would decrease.
2. The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase.
3. The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.
4. The vertical component of the fish's velocity would decrease.

Answer:

a) 2.85 m/s

b) -24.01 m/s

c) 1

Explanation:

From the question, we can attest that the motion of the fish that was dropped by the seagul is that of a projectile motion. This motion is made up of two other motions which are, a horizontal uniform motion and a vertical motion, at constant acceleration. From the question, we are asked to find the horizontal motion. And then, the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its the horizontal component of the fish's velocity is 2.85 m/s

To find the vertical component of the fish's velocity, we use the equation

v(y) = u(y) + gt

Where u(y) is the initial velocity which is zero, and g is the acceleration due to gravity which is -9.8 m/s. We are also told from the question that it took 2.45 s, and that's our time t. Applying this into the equation, we have

v(y) = 0 + -9.8 * 2.45

v(y) = -24.01 m/s

For the 3rd part, the horizontal component of the fish's velocity would decrease

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=0+10\times0.5

v=5\ m/s

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2

s=1.25\ m

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}

Where, x_{f}= final position

x_{i} = initial position

Put the value into the formula

v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}

v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.

The depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench is 36,198 ft. What is the gauge pressure at this depth
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

Explanation:

The pressure at the depth is given by,

P = h \rho g

Where, P = pressure at the depth

h = depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench = 36,198 ft = 11033.15 meter

\rho = density of water = 1000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

P = 11033.15 × 9.8 × 1000

P = 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

Thus, the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

A motor keep a Ferris wheel (with moment of inertia 6.97 × 107 kg · m2 ) rotating at 8.5 rev/hr. When the motor is turned off, t
Talja [164]

Answer:

P = 133.13 Watt

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the ferris wheel is given as

\omega_i = 2\pi f

\omega_i = 2\pi(8.5/3600)

\omega_i = 0.015 rad/s

final angular speed after friction is given as

\omega_f = 2\pi f

\omega_f = 2\pi(7.5/3600)

\omega_f = 0.013 rad/s

now angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

\alpha = \frac{0.015 - 0.013}{15}

\alpha = 1.27 \times 10^{-4} rad/s^2

now torque due to friction on the wheel is given as

\tau = I \alpha

\tau = (6.97 \times 10^7)(1.27 \times 10^{-4})

\tau = 8875.3 N m

Now the power required to rotate it with initial given speed is

P = \tau \omega

P = 8875.3 \times 0.015

P = 133.13 Watt
