Answer:

107 feet is the total vertical distance the dolphin traveled.

Explanation:

Negative sign in front of the distance value is just to define the distance covered by dolphin underwater that is beneath the surface of the water

Before jump

Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water before coming out= 35 feet

Vertical distance covered by dolphin after coming out of the surface of water = 27 feet

After jump

Vertical distance covered by dolphin above the surface of water after jumping = 27 feet

Vertical distance covered by dolphin below the surface of water after jumping = 18 feet

The total vertical distance the dolphin traveled:

35 feet + 27 feet + 27 feet + 18 feet = 107 feet

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

  35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

A majorette in a parade is performing some acrobatic twirlings of her baton. Assume that the baton is a uniform rod of mass 0.12
den301095 [7]

Question

Initially, the baton is spinning about a line through its center at angular velocity 3.00 rad/s.  What is its angular momentum? Express your answer in kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

0.0192 kgm^{2}/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum L of the baton moving about an axis perpendicular to it, passing through the center of the baton is,

L = \frac{1}{{12}}m{l^2}\omega

Here, l is the length of the baton.

Substitute 0.120 kg for m, 3 rads/s for \omega[\tex] and 0.8 m for l [tex]\begin{array}{c}\\L = \frac{1}{{12}}m{l^2}\omega \\\\ = \frac{1}{{12}}\left( {0.120{\rm{ kg}}} \right){\left( {{\rm{80}}{\rm{.0 cm}}} \right)^2}{\left( {\frac{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{m}}}}{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}} \right)^2}\left( {{\rm{3}}{\rm{.00 rad/s}}} \right)\\\\ = 0.0192{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/s}}\\\end{array}

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
victus00 [196]

1.

Answer:

a) It is less

Explanation:

By energy conservation we can say that initial potential energy of both child must be equal to the final kinetic energy of the two child.

Since initially they are at same height so we will say that initial potential energy will be given as

mgH and MgH

so the child with greater mass has more energy and hence smaller child will reach with smaller kinetic energy

2.

Answer:

b. The two speeds are equal.

Explanation:

As we know by mechanical energy conservation law we have

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

since both child starts at same height so here they both will reach the bottom at same speed

3.

Answer:

c. The two accelerations are equal

Explanation:

Since we know that average acceleration of the motion is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

since here initial and final speeds are same so they both must have same average acceleration here.

f a car is speeding down a road at 40 miles/hour (mph), how long is the stopping distance D40 compared to the stopping distance
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D40 = 2.56 × D25

so number is 2.56 multiple of stopping distance @ 25 mph

Explanation:

given data

speed = 40 miles / hour

distance = D40

speed limit = 25 miles / hour

distance = D25

to find out

express number a multiple of stopping distance @ 25 mph

solution

we know here stopping distance is directly proportional to (speed)²

so here speed ratio is

initial speed = \frac{40}{25}

so initial speed = 1.6

so

stopping distance increase = (1.6)²

\frac{D40}{D25} = (1.6)²

\frac{D40}{D25} = 2.56

so here

D40 = 2.56 × D25

so number is 2.56 multiple of stopping distance @ 25 mph

Jin walked 4 km on a straight path to get to the sandwich shop. He traveled 30° south of east.
Molodets [167]

Answer: -2 km

Explanation:

If we imagine Jin's movement to be the hypothenuse of a right triangle, then the southern component of Jin's movement corresponds to the side of the triangle opposite to the angle of 30 degrees. Therefore, the magnitude of this southern component is given by

However, the angle of 30 degrees is south of east: this means that the direction of this southern component is south, and since we generally take north as positive direction, we must add a negative sign, so the correct answer is

-2 km

A pickup truck starts from rest and maintains a constant acceleration a0. After a time t0, the truck is moving with speed 25 m/s
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

the correct answer is c     v₁> 12.5 m / s

Explanation:

This is a one-dimensional kinematics exercise, let's start by finding the link to get up to speed.

            v² = v₀² + 2 a₁ x

as part of rest v₀ = 0

           a₁ = v² / 2x

           a₁ = 25² / (2 120)

           a₁ = 2.6 m / s²

now we can find the velocity for the distance x₂ = 60 m

           v₁² = 0 + 2 a1 x₂

           v₁ = Ra (2 2,6 60)

           v₁ = 17.7 m / s

these the speed at 60 m

we see that the correct answer is c     v₁> 12.5 m / s
