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

Water is to be boiled at sea level (1 atm pressure) in a 30-cm-diameter stainless steel pan placed on top of a 18-kW electric bu
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 kW = 18000 J /s

60% of 18kW = 10800 J/s

Latent heat of evaporation of water

= 2260 x 10³ J / kg

kg of water being evaporated per second

= 10800 / 2260 x 10³ kg /s

= 4.7787 x 10⁻³ kg / s

= 4.78 gm / s .

The rear wheel on a clown’s bicycle has twice the radius of the front wheel. (a) When the bicycle is moving, is the linear speed
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a). same as

b). less than

Explanation:

a). When a bicycle is moving, the linear speed at the top of the rear wheel is same as the linear speed at the top of the front wheel. Since the clown's bicycle is a rigid body, both the wheels that is the front wheel and the rear wheel will move with the same linear speed.

b). Since we know that angular speed varies inversely to the radius of the wheel.

That is ω = 1 / r

Since the rear wheel has twice the radius of that of the front wheel, therefore real wheel will have less angular speed than the front wheel.

Therefore, the angular speed of the rear wheel is less than the angular speed of the front wheel.

A runner runs 4875 ft in 6.85 minutes. what is the runners average speed in miles per hour?
yanalaym [24]

The average speed can be easily calculated by taking the ratio of distance and time. That is:

average speed = distance / time

 

so calculating:

average speed = 4875 ft / 6.85 minutes

<span>average speed = 711.68 ft / min</span>

Do the data for the first part of the experiment support or refute the first hypothesis? Be sure to explain your answer and incl
Sphinxa [80]

The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis. As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased. Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.
