<span>First, apply Newton's second law of motion: F = ma. Force equals mass times acceleration. This law describes force as the product of mass multiplied by acceleration (which is different from velocity). As acceleration is the variation in velocity over time, we have force = (mass * velocity) / time, leading us to conclude that (mass * velocity) / time will equal momentum / time. Hence, we derive the equation mass * velocity = momentum. Momentum = mass * velocity. For the elephant, with a mass of 6300 kg and velocity of 0.11 m/s, Momentum = 6300 * 0.11, resulting in P = 693 kg (m/s). For the dolphin, having a mass of 50 kg and moving at 10.4 m/s, Momentum = 50 * 10.4, yielding P = 520 kg (m/s). Thus, the elephant has a greater momentum (P) due to its larger size.</span>

Respuesta:

11.4 m/s

Explicación:

La fórmula para la aceleración centrípeta es:

a=\frac{v^2}{R}

donde, a es la aceleración, v la velocidad alrededor de la circunferencia y R el radio del círculo.

En este problema,

a = g = aceleración debida a la gravedad en la cima = 9.81\ m/s^2

v = ?

R = 13.2 m

Por lo tanto,

9.81=\frac{v^2}{13.2}

v^2=9.81\times {13.2}

v = 11.4 m/s

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The ideal launch angle of 45° for achieving the greatest horizontal distance is only applicable when the starting height matches the final height. 

<span>In this scenario, you can demonstrate it as follows: </span>

<span>the initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>the launch angle is α </span>

<span>the initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity becomes </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>the total flight duration is the period required to return to a height of 0 m, thus </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time =? </span>
<span>a = gravitational acceleration = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>therefore </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now let's examine the horizontal distance. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range =? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>therefore </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme points of r (max or min) with respect to α, the first derivative of r with regards to α must be determined and set to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>As Vo and g are constants that are not equal to 0, the only solution for dr/dα to equal 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

Most calculators operate on 6.0 V. If, instead of using batteries, you obtain 6.0 V from a transformer plugged into 110-V house
kicyunya [3294]
1/0.0545. The transformation ratio of primary coil turns to secondary coil turns is directly proportional to the voltage transformation occurring. With 6.0 V on the secondary side (output) and 110 V on the primary side (input), the voltage ratio is calculated as 6/110 = 0.0545. This means for each turn in the primary coil, there are 0.0545 turns in the secondary coil.

a force of 6lbs acts on an object with a weight of 35 lbs on earth. determine the objects acceleration. final answer must be 5.5
kicyunya [3294]
Weight of the object = 35 lbs
F = ma
m = F/a = 35/32 (with acceleration of 32 ft/s²)
m= 1.09

Again applying the same formula,
a = F/m
a= 6/1.09
a= 5.489

Thus, the acceleration is approximately 5.5 ft/s²!!

Softa [3030]
An increase in temperature (Global warming) is observed. The solar radiation is transformed into heat energy absorbed by Earth's surface. In line with the law of conservation of energy, energy can only transition forms rather than disappear. If an increasing quantity of energy accumulates on Earth with minimal release, this imbalance in energy demand leads to a rise in temperature due to excessive heat absorption, largely a result of pollution from fossil fuel combustion releasing CO2 and other harmful emissions. Ordinarily, the residual solar energy would escape back into space, but CO2 and similar contaminants trap this heat, thus elevating Earth's temperature.
