An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 3.40 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 5.50 m below. Calculate the velocity (in m/s) of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water. (Assume that the eagle is flying in the x-direction and that the y-direction is up.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of the fish when it hits the water is:

v = 10.93 m/s and 71.88 ° below the x-direction.

Explanation:

Let's find the velocity of the fish in the y-direction.

[tex]v_{fy}^{2}=v_{iy}^{2}-2gh[/tex]

Here, v(iy) of the fish is zero, and the heigh h = 5.50 m, then the velocity will be:

[tex]v_{fy}^{2}=0-2(9.81)(5.50)[/tex]

[tex]v_{fy}^{2}=-2(9.81)(5.50)[/tex]

[tex]v_{fy}=-10.39 \: m/s[/tex]

Now, we know that the velocity in the x-direction is constant, so we can calculate the velocity of the fish when it hits the water.

[tex]v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{3.40^{2}+(-10.39)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]v=10.93 \: m/s[/tex]

And the direction will be:

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{10.39}{3.40})[/tex]

[tex]\theta=71.88^{\circ}[/tex]

The angle is 71.88 ° belox the x-direction.

A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the
east. What is the other force if the acceleration of the object is 1.0 m/s2 toward the east?

Answers

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 260 mm . A car successfully rounds the curve at a speed of 32 m/sm/s but is on the verge of skidding out.

Required:
a. If the coefficient of static friction between the car’s tires and the road surface were reduced by a factor of 2, with what maximum speed could the car round the curve?
b. Suppose the coefficient of friction were increased by a factor of 2; what would be the maximum speed?

Answers

I suppose you meant to say the radius of the curve is 260 m, not mm?

There are 3 forces acting on the car as it makes the turn,

• its weight mg pulling it downward;

• the normal force exerted by the road pointing upward, also with magnitude mg since the car is in equilibrium in the vertical direction; and

• static friction keeping the car from skidding with magnitude µmg (since it's proportional to the normal force), pointing horizontally toward the center of the curve.

By Newton's second law, the net force on the car acting in the horizontal direction is

F = ma   =>   µmg = ma   =>   a = µg

where a is the car's radial acceleration given by

a = v ^2 / R

with v = the car's tangential speed and R = radius of the curve. At the start, the car's radial acceleration is

a = (32 m/s)^2 / (260 m) ≈ 3.94 m/s^2

(a) If µ were reduced by a factor of 2, then the radial acceleration would also be halved:

1/2 a = 1/2 µg

Then the car can have a maximum speed v of

1/2 a = v ^2 / R   =>   v = √(aR/2) = √((3.94 m/s^2) (260 m) / 2) ≈ 22.6 m/s

(b) If µ were increased by a factor of 2, then the acceleration would also get doubled. Then the maximum speed v would be

2a = v ^2 / R   =>   v = √(2aR) = √(2 (3.94 m/s^2) (260 m)) ≈ 45.3 m/s

Answers

Answer:

The resistance of A is 6 ohms and the resistance of B is 3 ohms

Explanation:

Step 1: For the first connection (parallel connection), the resistance of B will be calculated.

Note: in a parallel connection, the voltage through each resistor is the same.

[tex]V = I_AR_A = I_BR_B\\\\R_B = \frac{V}{I_B} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \ ohms[/tex]

Step 2: The resistance of A will be calculated from the second connection (series connection)

Note: in series connection, the current flowing in each resistor is the same

[tex]V = V_A + V_B\\\\V = IR_A + IR_B\\\\The \ voltage \ drop \ in \ B; \ V_B = V- V_A\\\\V_B = 6 - 4 = 2 \ V\\\\IR_B = 2\ V\\\\I = \frac{2 \ V}{R_B}= \frac{2}{3} \ A\\\\The \ resistance \ of \ A \ is \ calculated \ as ;\\\\IR_A = 4 \ V\\\\R_A = \frac{4}{I} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = 6 \ ohms[/tex]

Electromagnetic radiation from a 8.25 mW laser is concentrated on a 1.23 mm2 area. Suppose a 1.12 nC static charge is in the beam, and moves at 314 m/s. What is the maximum magnetic force it can feel

Answers

Answer:

The maximum magnetic force is 2.637 x 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

Given;

Power, P = 8.25 m W = 8.25 x 10⁻³ W

charge of the radiation, Q = 1.12 nC = 1.12 x 10⁻⁹ C

speed of the charge, v = 314 m/s

area of the conecntration, A = 1.23 mm² = 1.23 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The intensity of the radiation is calculated as;

[tex]I = \frac{P}{A} \\\\I = \frac{8.25 \times 10^{-3} \ W}{1.23 \ \times 10^{-6} \ m^2} \\\\I = 6,707.32 \ W/m^2[/tex]

The maximum magnetic field is calculated using the following intensity formula;

[tex]I = \frac{cB_0^2}{2\mu_0} \\\\B_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2\mu_0 I}{c} } \\\\where;\\\\c \ is \ speed \ of \ light\\\\\mu_0 \ is \ permeability \ of \ free \ space\\\\B_0 \ is \ the \ maximum \ magnetic \ field\\\\B_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 6,707.32 }{3\times 10^8} } \\\\B_0 = 7.497 \times 10^{-6} \ T[/tex]

The maximum magnetic force is calculated as;

F₀ = qvB₀

F₀ = (1.12 x 10⁻⁹) x (314) x (7.497 x 10⁻⁶)

F₀ = 2.637 x 10⁻¹² N

A plane has a mass of 360,000 kg takes-off at a speed of 300 km/hr. i) What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if the length of the runway is 2.00 km.ii) At this acceleration, how much time would the plane need from starting to takeoff. iii) What force must the engines exert to attain this acceleration

Answers

Answer:

i) the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of plane m = 360,000 kg

take of speed v = 300 km/hr = 83.33 m/s

i)

What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if the length of the runway is 2.00 km

from Newton's equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we know that a plane starts from rest, so; u = 0

given that distance S = 2 km

we substitute

(300)² = 0² + ( 2 × a × 2 )

90000 = 4 × a

a = 90000 / 4

a = 22500 km/h²

Therefore,  the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) At this acceleration, how much time would the plane need from starting to takeoff.

from Newton's equation of motion;

v = u + at

we substitute

300 = 0 + 22500 × t

t = 300 / 22500

t = 0.0133 hrs

Therefore, the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) What force must the engines exert to attain this acceleration

we know that;

F = ma

acceleration a = 22500 km/hr² = 1.736 m/s²

so we substitute

F = 360,000 kg × 1.736 m/s²

F =  624960 N

F = 625 kN

Therefore, required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its
die hele

Answers

Answer:

There are a couple of interesting things about kinetic energy that we can see from the equation.

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples. A car traveling at 60 mph has four times the kinetic energy of an identical car traveling at 30 mph, and hence the potential for four times more death and destruction in the event of a crash.

Kinetic energy must always be either zero or a positive value. While velocity can have a positive or negative value, velocity squared is always positive.

Kinetic energy is not a vector. So a tennis ball thrown to the right with a velocity of 5 m/s, has the exact same kinetic energy as a tennis ball thrown down with a velocity of 5 m

What single line could you use to specify the orientation of the plane of the paper (i.e., so that someone else could hold the paper in the same, or in a parallel, plane)?

Answers

Answer:

NORMAL

Explanation:

In mathematics to define a plane you need a line perpendicular to the plane called NORMAL and the point of application of this line at a point on the plane.

Based on this definition you only need to specify the normal plane is perpendicular to this line, it should be noted that this does not define a single plane but the whole family of plane is contains the normal.

Consequently only the NORMAL is needed

The rate at which heat is transported by conduction through a material's unit cross-section area when a temperature gradient exits perpendicular to the area is known as thermal conductivity.

In the International System of Units (SI), thermal conductivity is measured by Wm⁻¹K⁻¹.

Diameter of the cylindrical steel boiler: d = 1.00m.

Length  of the cylindrical steel boiler: l = 3.00m.

In June 1985, a laser beam was sent out from the Air Force Optical Station on Maui and reflected back from the shuttle Discovery as it passed by 354 km overhead. The diameter of the central maximum of the beam at the shuttle position was said to be 9.1 m, and the beam wavelength was 500 nm.

What is the effective diameter of the circular laser aperture at the Maui ground station

Answer:

the effective diameter of the circular laser aperture at the Maui ground station is 4.747 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Separation between observer and point L = 354 km = 354000 m

Linear separation D = 9.1 m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 500 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now, for small angles;

θ = D / L

θ = 9.1 m /  354000 m

θ = 2.57 × 10⁻⁵ rad

For a circular aperture;

sinθ = ( 1.22 × λ ) / d

for small angles;

θ = ( 1.22 × λ ) / d

so

θ = 2 × θ

θ = 2 × [( 1.22 × λ ) / d]

we substitute

2.57 × 10⁻⁵ = 2 × [( 1.22 × 500 × 10⁻⁹ ) / d]

2.57 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.00000122 / d

d = 0.00000122 / 2.57 × 10⁻⁵

d = 0.04747 m

d = ( 0.04747 × 100 )m

d = 4.747 cm

Therefore, the effective diameter of the circular laser aperture at the Maui ground station is 4.747 cm
