Chapter 1: Q106PP (page 271)

Archerfish are tropical fish that hunt by shooting drops of water from their mouths at insects above the water鈥檚 surface to knock them into the water, where the fish can eat them. A 65-g fish at rest just at the surface of the water can expel a 0.30-g drop of water in a short burst of 5.0 ms. High-speed measurements show that the water has a speed of 2.5 m/s just after the archerfish expels it.

What is the momentum of one drop of water immediately after it leaves the fish鈥檚 mouth? (a) 7.5脳10-4鈥�kg鈰�m/s; (b) role="math" localid="1667981772098" 1.5脳10-4kg鈰�m/s; (c) 7.5脳10-3kg鈰�m/s; (d) 1.5脳10-3kg鈰�m/s.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is (a) 7.5脳10-4kg鈰�m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The velocity of water is vw=2.5m/s.

The mass of water is mw=0.3脳10-3kg.

The mass of fish is mfish=65脳10-3kg.

The velocity of insect is vi=2鈥�m/s.

The time is .t=5脳10-3鈥�s

The momentum of the fish is the same for the drop of water ispwater=7.5脳10-4kg鈰�m/s

02

Concept/Significance of Momentum

The momentum of any object can be obtained by multiplying the mass of that object with speed of that object.

The expression to calculate the momentum of the droplet is given by,

pd=mwvw鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�鈥�......(1)

03

Determine the momentum of one drop of water immediately after it leaves the fish’s mouth

Substitute mw=0.3脳10-3kg, andvw=2.5鈥�m/s in the equation (1) to find the momentum of one drop of water.

role="math" localid="1667986703621" pd=0.3脳10-3kg2.5m/s=7.5脳10-4kg.m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 7.5脳10-4kg.m/s.

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?

An antelope moving with constant acceleration covers the distance between two points 70.0apart in6.00s. Its speed as it passes the second point is15.0m/s. What are (a) its speed at the first point and (b) its acceleration?

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.
