1 answer:

5 0

The bodies of arthropods are supported, not by internal bones, but by a hardened exoskeleton made of chitin, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor. It is produced by the "skin" and then hardens into a protective outer-covering.

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity on moon , $g_m=1.67\ m/s^2$ .

Height , h = 2 m .

To Find :

Final position after falling for 1.5 seconds .

Solution :

We know , by equation of motion :

$s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}$

Here , $a = g_m$ .

So , equation will transform by :

$s=ut+\dfrac{g_mt^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{1.67\times 1.5^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=1.88\ m$

Therefore , the height form moon's surface is 1.88 m .

Hence , this is the required solution .

What's a difference between mercury and oxygen? (They both are elements)

borishaifa [10]

-- There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.

-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.

-- Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.
