To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum is defined as the product between mass and velocity of each body. And its conservation as the equality between the initial and final momentum. Mathematically described as
Here
= Mass of big fish
= Mass of small fish
= Velocity of big fish
= Velocity of small fish
= Final Velocity
The big fish eats small fish and the final velocity is zero. Rearrange the equation for the initial velocity of small fish we have
Replacing we have,
The negative sign indicates that the small fish is swimming in the direction opposite to that of the big fish.
Therefore the speed of the small fish is 10m/s
Answer:
a) y= 3.5 10³ m, b) t = 64 s
Explanation:
a) For this exercise we use the vertical launch kinematics equation
Stage 1
y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²
y₁ = 0 + 0 + ½ a₁ t²
Let's calculate
y₁ = ½ 16 10²
y₁ = 800 m
At the end of this stage it has a speed
v₁ = vo + a₁ t₁
v₁ = 0 + 16 10
v₁ = 160 m / s
Stage 2
y₂ = y₁ + v₁ (t-t₀) + ½ a₂ (t-t₀)²
y₂ = 800 + 150 5 + ½ 11 5²
y₂ = 1092.5 m
Speed is
v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t
v₂ = 160 + 11 5
v₂ = 215 m / s
The rocket continues to follow until the speed reaches zero (v₃ = 0)
v₃² = v₂² - 2 g y₃
0 = v₂² - 2g y₃
y₃ = v₂² / 2g
y₃ = 215²/2 9.8
y₃ = 2358.4 m
The total height is
y = y₃ + y₂
y = 2358.4 + 1092.5
y = 3450.9 m
y= 3.5 10³ m
b) Flight time is the time to go up plus the time to go down
Let's look for the time of stage 3
v₃ = v₂ - g t₃
v₃ = 0
t₃ = v₂ / g
t₃ = 215 / 9.8
t₃ = 21.94 s
The time to climb is
= t₁ + t₂ + t₃
t_{s} = 10+ 5+ 21.94
t_{s} = 36.94 s
The time to descend from the maximum height is
y = v₀ t - ½ g t²
When it starts to slow down it's zero
y = - ½ g t_{b}²
t_{b} = √-2y / g
t_{b} = √(- 2 (-3450.9) /9.8)
t_{b} = 26.54 s
Flight time is the rise time plus the descent date
t = t_{s} + t_{b}
t = 36.94 + 26.54
t =63.84 s
t = 64 s
