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

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so

lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

$v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax$

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

$v_0 = 21.8 m/s$

$v = 0$

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

$0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x$

$0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x$

$x = 93.2 m$

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m

-Dominant- [34]

<span>At time t1 = 0 since the body is at rest, the body has an angular velocity, v1, of 0. At time t = X, the body has an angular velocity of 1.43rad/s2. Since Angular acceleration is just the difference in angular speed by time. We have 4.44 = v2 -v1/t2 -t1 where V and t are angular velocity and time. So we have 4.44 = 1.43 -0/X - 0. Hence X = 1.43/4.44 = 0.33s.</span>

You drop your keys in a high-speed elevator going up at a constant speed. Part APart complete Do the keys accelerate faster towa

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

a) No, the keys were initially moving upward in the elevator only effects the initial velocity of the key and not the rate of change of velocity that is acceleration. So, the keys accelerate with the same acceleration as before.

b)Yes, keys will accelerate towards the floor faster if it is a constant speed than it is moving downward because if the elevator is accelerating downward, the downward change in velocity of the keys is at least partially matched by a downward change in the velocity of the of the elevator.

9966 [12]

Answer:

$2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

29010.53917 m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of asteroid = 2 g/cm³

V = Volume

d = Diameter = 10 km

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\ km$

v = Velocity = 11 km/s

$H_v$ = Heat vaporization of water = $2.26\times 10^6\ J/kg$

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 100-20

Mass is given by

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow m=2000\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi\times 5000^3\\\Rightarrow m=1.0472\times 10^{15}\ kg$

The kinetic energy is

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1.0472\times 10^{15}\times 11000^2\\\Rightarrow K=6.33556\times 10^{22}\ J$

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T+mH_v\\\Rightarrow 6.33556\times 10^{22}=m\times (4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{ 6.33556\times 10^{22}}{4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow m=2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Mass of water is $2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Volume is $\dfrac{2.44156\times 10^{16}}{10^3}=2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

Amount of water is $2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

If it were a cube

$h=V^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=(2.44156\times 10^{13})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=29010.53917\ m$

The height of the water would be 29010.53917 m
