Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of water tsunami carries is m= 770kg

With a speed of v = 10m/s

It has height of h=10m at land fall

Colony structure can withstand 135,000J of energy before damage

Energy of the tsunami

K.E of the tsunami

K.E=1/2mv²

K.E=0.5× 770 ×10²

K.E=38500J

P.E of the tsunami

P.E= mgh

P.E= 770×9.8×10

P.E= 75468J

Total energy is P.E + K.E

Total energy =75468+38500

TOTAL ENERGY= 113960J

the colony can withstand =135,000J

Since the energy of the tsunami is not up to the energy that can destroy the colony, then the site can sustain a permanent colony

slega [8]

Answer:

a) 2.5m/s

b) 0.91m/s

c) 0m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity can be said to be the ratio of the displacement with respect to time.

Average speed on the other hand is the ratio of distance in relation to time

Thus, to get the average velocity for the first half of the swim

V(average) = displacement of first trip/time taken on the trip

V(average) = 50/20

V(average) = 2.5m/s

Average velocity for the second half of the swim will be calculated in like manner, thus,

V(average) = 50/55

V(average) = 0.91m/s

Average velocity for the round trip will then be

V(average) = 0/75, [50+25]

V(average) = 0m/s

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

  • The total distance traveled is 28 inches.
  • The displacement is 2 inches to the east.

Explanation:

Lets put a frame of reference in the problem. Starting the frame of reference at the point with the 0-inch mark, and making the unit vector \hat{i} pointing in the west direction, the ant start at position

\vec{r}_0 = 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}

Then, moves to

\vec{r}_1 = 29 \ inch \ \hat{i}

so, the distance traveled here is

d_1 = |\vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_0  | = | 29 \ inch   \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_1 =  | 13 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_1 =  13 \ inch

after this, the ant travels to

\vec{r}_2 = 14 \ inch \ \hat{i}

so, the distance traveled here is

d_2 = |\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1  | = | 14 \ inch   \ \hat{i} - 29 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_2 =  | - 15 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_2 =  15 \ inch

The total distance traveled will be:

d_1 + d_2 = 13 \ inch + 15 \ inch = 28 \ inch

The displacement is the final position vector minus the initial position vector:

\vec{D}=\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1

\vec{D}= 14 \ inch   \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}

\vec{D}= - 2 \ inch \ \hat{i}

This is 2 inches to the east.

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of
koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

  Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

  Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

                          = (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

    Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

    Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

    Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

 So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.
