Answer: $36.86\°$

Explanation:

According to the described situation we have the following data:

Horizontal distance between lily pads: $d=2.4 m$

Ferdinand's initial velocity: $V_{o}=5 m/s$

Time it takes a jump: $t=0.6 s$

We need to find the angle $\theta$ at which Ferdinand jumps.

In order to do this, we first have to find the <u>horizontal component (or x-component)</u> of this initial velocity. Since we are dealing with parabolic movement, where velocity has x-component and y-component, and in this case we will choose the x-component to find the angle:

$V_{x}=\frac{d}{t}$ (1)

$V_{x}=\frac{2.4 m}{0.6 s}$ (2)

$V_{x}=4 m/s$ (3)

On the other hand, the x-component of the velocity is expressed as:

$V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta$ (4)

Substituting (3) in (4):

$4 m/s=5 m/s cos\theta$ (5)

Clearing $\theta$ :

$\theta=cos^{-1} (\frac{4 m/s}{5 m/s})$

$\theta=36.86\°$ This is the angle at which Ferdinand the frog jumps between lily pads

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

a fossil of a footprint, trail, burrow, or other trace of an animal rather than of the animal itself.

Explanation:

Trace fossils are the indirect evidence of life in the past, such as the footprints, tracks, burrows, borings, and feces left behind by animals, rather than the preserved remains of the actual animal body itself.

Fossil is the naturally preserved remains of plants and animals which somehow get trapped in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants.

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude

enot [183]

The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity $v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}$ , where $v_0=35 m/s$
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ directed downwards, and with initial velocity $v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}$ . Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

Suggest reasons why poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to the biodiversity of an area than poaching for prof

dlinn [17]

An example for ruining a biodiversity is fishing. The two factors that have contributed to increased fishing in deep ocean waters in recent years are the human population growth and decreased fishing opportunities inshore. Increase population growth increases the demand for food which also leads to increase in fish demand. Because the fish demand is high, inshore fishing opportunities decrease that is why deep ocean waters is the new venue for fishing. This may sound absurd but poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to he biodiversity <span>of an area than poaching for profit. Because the people do not care anymore to the biodiversity that they interrupted just to get back more profit. They do not care what must be taken from it like getting bigger fishes and leaving the smaller ones behind to maintain productivity.</span>

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
