Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 58.1 kg/s and a speed of 43.5 m/s. Calculate the mag

nitude of the force exerted on the wall (in N), assuming the water's horizontal momentum is reduced to zero.

Answer:

F = -2527.35 N

Explanation:

Given,

mass per unit time = 58.1 Kg/s

Speed of the water = 43.5 m/s

Final momentum = 0 kg/s

Force = Change in momentum

F = Final momentum - initial momentum

F = 0 - initial momentum

F = 0 -58.1\times 43.5

F = -2527.35 N

Hence, the Force exerted is equal to F = -2527.35 N

and closing .

The heart has 4 valves. They are what makes the lub-dub lub-dub sounds that can be heard from the chest.  

The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It closes the left atrium to collect oxygenated blood from the lungs and opens to pass it on to the left ventricle.

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It closes the right atrium to hold unoxygenated blood and opens to pass it on to the right ventricle ensuring a one way flow.

The aortic valve is located between the aorta and the left ventricle. It closes the left ventricle and opens to the aorta to pass on the oxygen-rich blood to the body.

The pulmonary valve is located between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. It closes off the right ventricle and opens to pass on unoxygenated blood to the lungs.

Describe how the coriolis effect acts differently based on location on earth
sammy [17]

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect happens when an entity is perceived from a moving reference frame going in a straight path. The changing reference frame makes the object appear as if it were moving along a curved road.

Circulation is counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Circulation is clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and it is the equator, it is straight down without circulation.

After watching a show about submarines, Jamil wants to learn more about the oceans. Which question could be answered through sci
Georgia [21]
The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: <u>What substances dissolve in ocean water?</u> 

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.

a spaceship is traveling at a speed of 15000 km/s from planet b toward planet a the spaceship sends out a signal with a waveleng
Bumek [7]

Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.

What is the explanation for how a modern transmission electron microscope (TEM) can achieve a resolution of about 0.2 nanometers
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A simple light microscope uses light for imaging of objects where as a transmission electron microscope uses a monochromatic beam of electrons.

This beam is passed by a magnetic field which is very strong and thus act as a lens.

Its resolution of very high which is about 0.2 nanometers because of the separation between two atoms.

Because of this reason its resolution is about 1000 times greater than light microscope.
