Trained dolphins are capable of a vertical leap of 7.0m straight up from the surface of the water-an impressive feat.Suppose you

could train a dolphin to launch itself out of the water at this same speed but at an angle.What maximum horizontal range could the dolphin achieve?

Answer:

θ = 45º

Explanation:

To find the solution, let's use the projectile launch equation

R = vo² sin 2θ / g

Where vo is the initial speed of the dolphin, T is the angle of the jump and g the gravity acceleration.

To obtain a maximum range, the sine T function must be 1,

sin 2θ = 1

2θ = sin⁻¹ 1

2θ = 90

θ = 45º

Therefore, the dolphin should jump at an angle of 45º from the horizontal

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$3400$ Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

$L$ = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

$V$ = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

$f$ = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

$f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}$

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

$f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = 3400$ Hz

A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 6 inches below the

hoa [83]

Answer:

Since the spring mass system will execute simple harmonic motion the position as a function of time can be written as $x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)$

'A' is the amplitude = 6 inches (given)

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the natural frequency of the system

At equilibrium we have

$mg=kx\\\\k=\frac{mg}{x}$

Applying values we get

$k=40 lb/ft$

thus natural frequency equals

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{40}{\frac{20}{32}}}\\\\\omega =8s^{-1}$

Thus the equation of motion becomes

$x(t)=6sin(8t+\phi)$

At time t=0 since mass is at it's maximum position thus we have

$A=Asin(\omega t+\phi)\\\\\therefore sin(\omega\times 0+\phi)=1\\\\\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\\\therefore x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2})$

Thus the position of mass at the given times is as follows

1) at $\frac{\pi}{12}$ $x(t)=5.99inches$

2) at $\frac{\pi}{8}$ $x(t)=5.9909inches$

3) at $\frac{\pi}{6}$ $x(t)=5.98397inches$

4) at $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $x(t)=5.9639inches$

5) at $\frac{9\pi}{32}$ $x(t)=5.954inches$

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

madreJ [45]

In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s

How many significant figures do each of the following numbers have: (a) 214, (b) 81.60, (c) 7.03, (d) 0.03, (e) 0.0086, (f) 3236

Korolek [52]

In determining the number of significant figures in a given number, there are three rules to always remember / follow:

First: All integers except zero are always significant.

<span>Second: Any zeros located between non zeroes are always significant.</span>

Third: A zero located after a non zero in a decimal is always significant whether it is before or after the decimal

Therefore using this rule, the number of significant digits in the given numbers are:

(a) 214 = 3

(b) 81.60 = 4

(c) 7.03 = 3

(d) 0.03 = 1

(e) 0.0086 = 2

(f) 3236 = 4

(g) 8700 = 2
