Answer:
Explanation:
The first part of this question is simply asking us to convert the speed from miles per hour to meters per second:
choice C.
The next part wants us to use the equation for acceleration and find the acceleration:
where v is final velocity, v0 is initial velocity, and t is time in seconds (which was one of the reasons we had to convert the initial velocity from 60.0 mph to m/s):
and
a = 10.7 m/s/s, choice B.
Answer:
Explanation:
Here is the full question and answer,
The archerfish is a type of fish well known for its ability to catch resting insects by spitting a jet of water at them. This spitting ability is enabled by the presence of a groove in the roof of the mouth of the archerfish. The groove forms a long, narrow tube when the fish places its tongue against it and propels drops of water along the tube by compressing its gill covers.
When an archerfish is hunting, its body shape allows it to swim very close to the water surface and look upward without creating a disturbance. The fish can then bring the tip of its mouth close to the surface and shoot the drops of water at the insects resting on overhead vegetation or floating on the water surface.
Part A: At what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down a floating insect located at a distance 0.800 m from the fish? Assume that the fish is located very close to the surface of the pond and spits the water at an angle 60 degrees above the water surface.
Part B: Now assume that the insect, instead of floating on the surface, is resting on a leaf above the water surface at a horizontal distance 0.600 m away from the fish. The archerfish successfully shoots down the resting insect by spitting water drops at the same angle 60 degrees above the surface and with the same initial speed v as before. At what height h above the surface was the insect?
Answer
A.) The path of a projectile is horizontal and symmetrical ground. The time is taken to reach maximum height, the total time that the particle is in flight will be double that amount.
Calculate the speed of the archer fish.
The time of the flight of spitted water is,
Substitute for g and
for
in above equation.
Spitted water will travel horizontally.
Displacement of water in this time period is
Substitute for
and
for x in above equation.
B.) There are two component of velocity vertical and horizontal. Calculate vertical velocity and horizontal velocity when the angle is given than calculate the time of flight when the horizontal distance is given. Value of the horizontal distance, angle and velocity are given. Use the kinematic equation to solve the height of insect above the surface.
Calculate the height of insect above the surface.
Vertical component of the velocity is,
Substitute for v and
for
in above equation.
Horizontal component of the velocity is,
Substitute for v and
for
in above equation.
When horizontal distance away from the fish.
The time of flight for distance (d) is ,
Substitute for d and
for
in equation
Distance of the insect above the surface is,
Substitute for
and
for t and
for g in above equation.
Answer:
<h2>The work done is 0.882 Joules.</h2>Explanation:
To calculate the work, we need to find all forces that are involved in the movement.
As you can analyse, the body is the force that make the box to move, and the friction force is opposite to it, we cannot forget about the friction. So, we have to calculate the resultant force to this context.
So, to find we use:
; where
The friction force would be:
Then, the resultant force is:
Now, we calculate the work:
Therefore, the work done is 0.882 Joules.
