A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.

The airspeed of the bee (i.e., its speed relative to the air) is 8.33 m/s. In which direction should the bee head in order to fly directly to the flower, due North relative to the ground? Answer in units of ◦ East of North.

Answer:  53.31\° East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: 6.68 m/s

Speed of the bee relative to the air:  8.33 m/s

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the <u>Speed of the wind from East to West</u> (in the horintal part) and the <u>speed due North relative to the ground</u> (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}

sin \theta=\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s}

Clearing \theta:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s})

\theta=53.31\°

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, v_{o} = 20.0 m/s

Angle made by the ramp, \theta = 22.0^{\circ}

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH

where

H = dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}

g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}} = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, \mu = 0.150:

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5} = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m

Question: <span>Often what one expects to see influences what is perceived in the surrounding environment. True or False?

Answer: True

Reason: What we observe about the environment decides what we believe about it and how we react.

A car drives around a racetrack for 30 seconds. what do you need to know to calculate the average velocity of the car?
boyakko [2]
The time is given, and you want to find the average velocity. To do this, you need to know the distance covered by the driver around the racetrack in that 30 seconds. You divide this by the time, then you will obtain the average velocity in units of, say meters per second.

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
