Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

Newton's second Law of motion law states that If there is a external force acting on an object. Then the rate of change of momentum of that object is directly proportional to the force acting on its.

the net force acting upon the object (F)
the mass of the object. (m)
V Final velocity of the object
U initial velocity of the object
mV -Final momentum of the object
mU - Initial momentum of the object

Due to momentum change of that object, momentum change. We can write the equation bellow this,

F = (mV-mU)/t

When m is constant we can write the above expression like this,

F = m (V-U)/t

There for

(V-U)/t = a ( Rate of change of velocity can be denoted as acceleration )

F = m× a

we can state this in mathematically,

a = F/m

in another representation

F = m*a

Net Force = mass*acceleration

= 10 * 2

= 20 N

object is subjected to a negative acceleration due to the friction.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

165.529454

Explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Theorem for calculating the lengths of a right angle triangle's sides, a^2 + b+2 = c^2, where c is the longest side (and the side opposing the right angle). So in your case it would be 150*150 + 70*70 = 27400. And √ 27400 is your answer.

What do zooplankton and krill have in common?

serious [3.7K]

<h2>Hello, thank you for choosing brainly today. My name is Ethan and I'll be solving your question. "What do zooplankton and krill have in common?"</h2>

Krill and plankton are two groups of organisms found in the ocean. Krill are species of crustacean related to shrimp, and serve as a very important link in the food chain of the sea. Plankton consist of a larger group of organisms with much more variety, including bacteria, algae, protozoans, jellyfish and some species of cephalopods.

Propulsion

The primary factor that determines whether a species is plankton or not is propulsion. Plankton organisms lack the ability to swim against the tide, and instead float from place to place on sea currents. They may be capable of some movement, and some types of plankton can even hunt for food, but none is powerful enough to make its own headway through the ocean. Adult krill are capable of swimming against currents, but their larvae and eggs fall into the plankton category.

Variation

Krill are crustaceans of the Euphausiacea order, which consists of 86 different species. Plankton, on the other hand, can come from a wide variety of different species and orders. Plankton fall into three broad categories, depending on their primary function. Phytoplankton are plant-like organisms, capable of photosynthesis. Zooplankton are animal plankton species that get their nutrients by eating other microscopic organisms. Bacterioplankton are the smallest plankton, and often serve as food for zooplankton and other lifeforms.

Appearance

Krill species have similar characteristics and generally resemble tiny shrimp. Most species reach around 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) as adults, while the largest species can reach sizes of up to 15 centimeters (5.9 inches). Plankton, on the other hand, consists of organisms of many different shapes and sizes. The smallest categories include microscopic viruses, protozoans, small crustaceans, and other tiny organisms. At the larger end of the scale, megaplankton are any plankton over 2 centimeters (0.8 inches) in size, and include large animals, such as cephalopods and jellyfish. The largest plankton is the lion's mane jellyfish, which can reach 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in diameter and grow tentacles more than 36.5 meters (120 feet) long.

Role

Plankton and krill serve similar, but slightly different, roles in the food chain. Phytoplankton synthesize nutrients, while bacterioplankton recycle nutrients from decomposing matter in the ocean, providing some of the fundamental sources of nutrition for all ocean creatures. Zooplankton serve to concentrate those nutrients by eating smaller plankton and serving as food for larger creatures. Krill are one step up in the food chain, eating plankton and serving as a nutrient bridge from microscopic life forms to larger fish and mammals.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s$

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

$F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }$

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

$F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

$\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}$

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So $R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m$ and $R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m$ (Since $R_{earth}=6371km$ ). Then, we get:

$v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s$

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t

vladimir1956 [14]

Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum

Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s

En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Directamente proporcional

Explanation:

El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.

Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;

$Peso = mg$

Donde;

m es la masa del objeto.

g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.

De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.

Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.
