Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 69.4 kg/s and a speed of 19.6 m/s. Calculate the mag

Answer:

Force, |F| = 1360.24 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 69.4 kg/s, \dfrac{m}{t}=69.4\ kg/s

Initial speed of the water, u = 19.6 m/s

Finally water comes to stop, v = 0

To find,

The magnitude of the force exerted on the wall.

Solution,

Let F is the force exerted on the wall. The product of mass and acceleration is called the force exerted. Using second law of motion to find it as :

F=m\dfrac{v-u}{t}

F=\dfrac{-mu}{t}

F=-69.4\ kg/s\times 19.6\ m/s

|F| = 1360.24 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 1360.24 N.

Which atoms have the highest electronegativity?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Note that there is little variation among the transition metals. Electronegativities generally decrease from top to bottom within a group due to the larger atomic size. Of the main group elements, fluorine has the highest electronegativity (EN = 4.0) and cesium the lowest (EN = 0.79).

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue
sergey [27]
More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?
padilas [110]

<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded.  The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.
