Its is called intertidal zone

Explanation:

The earth rotation and the moon's pull of gravity causes the tides to rise and fall.High tides occur when the water advances to the furthers point of a shoreline where as low tides happen when the water recedes to the lowest point of the shoreline.Some kinds of animal and plants survive in the ecosystem present between the area of high tides and low tides refered to as the intertidal zone.This area is sometimes covered or uncovered by ocean waters.

A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 330 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret

Nataly [62]

Answer:

a)32.34 N/m

b)10cm

c)1.6 Hz

Explanation:

Let 'k' represent spring constant

'm' mass of the object= 330g =>0.33kg

a) in order to find spring constant 'k', we apply Newton's second law to the equilibrium position 10cm below the release point.

ΣF=kx-mg=0

k=mg / x

k= (0.33 x 9.8)/ 0.1

k= 32.34 N/m

b) The amplitude, A, is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point (end points). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object.

Therefore, amplitude of the oscillation is 10cm

c)frequency of the oscillation can be determined by,

f= 1/2π $\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

f= 1/2π $\sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.33} }$

f= 1.57

f≈ 1.6 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the oscillation is 1.6 Hz

A 95kg fullback (football player for those not into sports) moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic colli

Lunna [17]

Answer:

a. $v=3.11mls$ , $29.4^{0}$

b. $K.E =-697.8J$

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 $p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\$

Momentum of player 2 $p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\$

Hence the total momentum $p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\$

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence $p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\$

$(95+90)v=475i+270j\\$

$v=2.57i+1.45j\\$

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

$v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls$

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

$\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}$

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

$K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\$
