Biologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set of experiment
Dominik [7]

Answer:

\mu=0.74            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of one quoll around a curve, v = 3.2 m/s (maximum speed)

Radius of the curve, r = 1.4 m

On the curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force such that the coefficient of frictional is given by :

\mu=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}

\mu=\dfrac{(3.2\ m/s)^2}{1.4\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

\mu=0.74

So, the coefficient of static friction between the quoll's feet and the ground in this trial is 0.74. Hence, this is the required solution.

According to the article, which pattern of brain waves are most conducive to studying new information?
sashaice [31]
Alpha brain waves are those most conducive to studying new information.

When consciously alert, we generally function along a beta brain rhythm. In diminishing this rhythm to alpha, we transition into a state of physical and mental relaxation that is ideal for learning new information and storing facts and  data. Studies have shown that the effect of decreasing brain rhythm is linked to feelings of increased mental clarity and remembrance. As it is a prime condition for synthetic thought and creativity, it becomes easier to visualize and create associations (information is better learned and absorbed by using such study methods). 

Hope this helps! :)

A pair of glasses is dropped from the top of a 32.0m stadium. A pen is dropped 2.Os later. How high above the ground is the pen
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

h_p = 30.46\ m

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object refers to an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. If the object is dropped from a certain height h, it moves downwards until it reaches ground level.

The speed vf of the object when a time t has passed is given by:

v_f=g\cdot t

Where g = 9.8 m/s^2

Similarly, the distance y the object has traveled is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle y=\frac{g\cdot t^2}{2}

If we know the height h from which the object was dropped, we can solve the above equation for t:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot y}{g}}

The stadium is h=32 m high. A pair of glasses is dropped from the top and reaches the ground at a time:

\displaystyle t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 32}{9.8}}=2.56\ sec

The pen is dropped 2 seconds after the glasses. When the glasses hit the ground, the pen has been falling for:

t_2=2.56 - 2 = 0.56\ sec

Therefore, it has traveled down a distance:

\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 0.56^2}{2} = 1.54\ m

Thus, the height of the pen is:

h_p = 32 - 1.54\Rightarrow h_p=30.46\ m

You throw a baseball straight up into the air with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How long does it take the baseball to reach its highest
galben [10]
Time=speed/acceleration
Gravitaional Acceleration=9.8 m/s^2
Speed=24.5 m/s
Time=24.5/9.8=2.5 s

A tennis player standing 12.6m from the net hits the ball at 3.00 degrees above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must
mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)
