Answer: Because the force of gravity depends on the size of the planet, so a smaller planet will have less gravitational force than a larger planet. So our gravitational force is not as strong as a bigger planet so we can still stand up and jump normally but on a smaller planet we could jump higher and on a bigger planet, we could not even be able to jump at all.

Answer:

<h2>The capacity or power to do work/ The ability to do work. </h2>

Explanation:

such as the capacity to move an object (of a given mass) by the application of force. Energy can exist in a variety of forms, such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, or nuclear, and can be transformed from one form to another

An electromagnetic flowmeter is useful when it is desirable not to interrupt the system in which the fluid is flowing (e.g. for

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as

$E = Blv$

where $E$ is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V

$l$ is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m

$v$ is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?

$B$ is the magnetic field = 0.120 T

substituting, we have

2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x $v$

2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x $v$

$v$ = 2.88/1.44 = 2 m/s

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

Alex

Answer:

A) The speed of the water must be 8.30 m/s.

B) Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver is 70.12 Joules.

Explanation:

A) Mass of squid with water = 6.50 kg

Mass of water in squid cavuty = 1.55 kg

Mass of squid = $m_1=6.50 kg- 1.55 kg=4.95 kg$

Velocity achieved by squid = $v_1=2.60 m/s$

Momentum gained by squid = $P=m_1v_1$

Mass of water = $m_2=1.55 kg$

Velocity by which water was released by squid = $v_2$

Momentum gained by water but in opposite direction = $P'=m_2v_2$

P = P'

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{4.95 kg\times 2.60 m/s}{1.55 kg}=8.30 m/s$

B) Kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver:

Kinetic energy of squid = K.E = $\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}$

Kinetic energy of water = K.E' = $\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver:

$K.E+K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.95 kg\times (2.60 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.55 kg\times (8.30 m/s)^2=70.12 Joules$
