Why might it be necessary to ignore some of the data points just before and just after the collision?

We have no idea. We need to examine the experimental set-up. You've given us no information, except that there may have been some sort of collision.

A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

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:

$h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m$ (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

$y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (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:

$3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s$

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:

$v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}$

The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s

(b) The angle is given by:

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{c_1}{h})=cos^{-1}(\frac{36m}{229.83m})=80.9 \°$

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

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th

Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

$E_i = E_f$

$0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

$h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}$

$v_f = 1.8486m/s$

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

In a closed energy system, energy is?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A closed system can exchange energy but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter.

The image of the triangle is to be formed by rotating ΔXYZ 180 degrees about the (2, -3) as shown in the graph.

<h3>What is Geometry?</h3>

It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.

Triangle XYZ has vertices X(0, 2), Y(4, 4), and Z(3, –1).

If the triangle is ΔXYZ. Then the image of the triangle is to be formed by rotating ΔXYZ 180 degrees about the (2, -3) as shown in the graph.
