- The archerfish uses a remarkable method for catching insects sitting on branches or leaves above the waterline. The fish rises to the surface and then shoots out a stream of water precisely aimed to knock the insect off its perch into the water, where the archerfish gobbles it up. Scientists have measured the speed of the water stream exiting the fish’s mouth to be 3.7 m/s. An archerfish spots an insect sitting 19 cm above the waterline and a horizontal distance of 30 cm away. The fish aims its stream at an angle of 39° from the waterline. Does the stream hit its mark?arrow_forward(a) How far from the origin is the puck at t = 6s?

- A missile silo is used to launch military rockets vertically upward out of the silo, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level. As the rocket clears the silo, the engines fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1,080 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of -9.80 m/s². (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (a) Determine the velocity of the rocket (in m/s) at the end of the engine burn time and also the burn time (in s). (For the velocity, indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) velocity at end of engine V = 92.22 Check your kinematic equation relating vo, V1, ay, and AYo → 1 (where velocity of rocket as it clears the silo, v, = velocity of the rocket at…arrow_forwardAn airplane flies horizontally at a speed of 541 km/h and drops a crate that falls to the horizontal ground below.
