A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x

sattari [20]

If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

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,

$t = \frac{{2v\sin \theta }}{g}$

Substitute $9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}$ for g and $60^\circ$ for $\theta$ in above equation.

$t = \frac{{2v\sin 60^\circ }}{{9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}}}\\\\ = \left( {0.1767\;v} \right){{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\\$

Spitted water will travel $0.80{\rm{ m}}$ horizontally.

Displacement of water in this time period is

$x = vt\cos \theta$

Substitute $\left( {0.1767\;v} \right){{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}$ for $t\rm 60^\circ[tex] for [tex]\theta$ and $0.80{\rm{ m}}$ for x in above equation.

$\\0.80{\rm{ m}} = v\left( {0.1767\;v} \right){{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\left( {\cos 60^\circ } \right)\\\\0.80{\rm{ m}} = {v^2}\left( {0.1767{\rm{ }}} \right)\frac{1}{2}{{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\\\\v = \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {0.80{\rm{ m}}} \right)}}{{0.1767\;{{\rm{m}}^{ - 1}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}}}} \\\\ = 3.01{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}\\$

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,

${v_v} = v\sin \theta$

Substitute $3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for v and $60^\circ$ for $\theta$ in above equation.

$\\{v_v} = \left( {3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\sin 60^\circ \\\\ = 2.6067{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}\\$

Horizontal component of the velocity is,

${v_h} = v\cos \theta$

Substitute $3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for v and $60^\circ$ for $\theta$ in above equation.

$\\{v_h} = \left( {3.01\;{\rm{m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\cos 60^\circ \\\\ = 1.505{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}\\$

When horizontal $({0.60\;{\rm{m}}}$ distance away from the fish.

The time of flight for distance (d) is ,

$t = \frac{d}{{{v_h}}}$

Substitute $0.60\;{\rm{m}}$ for d and $1.505{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for ${v_h}$ in equation $t = \frac{d}{{{v_h}}}$

$\\t = \frac{{0.60\;{\rm{m}}}}{{1.505{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}}}\\\\ = 0.3987{\rm{ s}}\\$

Distance of the insect above the surface is,

$s = {v_v}t + \frac{1}{2}g{t^2}$

Substitute $2.6067{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$ for ${v_v}$ and $0.3987{\rm{ s}}$ for t and $- 9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}$ for g in above equation.

$\\s = \left( {2.6067{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( {0.3987{\rm{ s}}} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\left( { - 9.8{\rm{ m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^{ - 2}}} \right){\left( {0.3987{\rm{ s}}} \right)^2}\\\\ = 0.260{\rm{ m}}\\$

While ice skating, you unintentionally crash into a person. Your mass is 60 kg, and you are traveling east at 8.0 m/s with respe

kaheart [24]

Answer:

6.18 m/s

Explanation:

Roller skate collision

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

$P_{Miy}$ + $p_{Piy}$ + $j_{y}$ = $P_{Mfy}$ + $P_{pfy}$

$m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sin$ Ф

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}sin$ Ф

480 = 140 $V_{f} sin$ Ф................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

$P_{Mix}$ + $p_{Pix}$ + $j_{x}$ = $P_{Mfx}$ + $P_{pfx}$

$m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cos$ Ф

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}cos$ Ф

720= 140 $V_{f}cos$ Ф

140Vf= $\frac{720}{cos}$ Ф......................................(2)

Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo

pickupchik [31]

The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height.

<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>

<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>

<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

A machine is currently set to a feed rate of 5.921 inches per minute (IPM). Te machinist changes this setting to 6.088 IPM. By h

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.
