Answer:

7.1 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the fish to reach the water.

Given in the y direction:

Δy = 6.1 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

6.1 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.12 s

Next, find the velocity needed to travel 7.9 m in that time.

Given in the x direction:

Δx = 7.9 m

a = 0 m/s²

t = 1.12 s

Find: v₀

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

7.9 m = v₀ (1.12 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.12 s)²

v₀ = 7.1 m/s

While researching scuba diving, Pablo reads how hot a tank should get while being filled with air. Which law best explains why t
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases

Explanation:

First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.

This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".

Mathematically:

p\propto T

where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.

Why do some astronomers object to the new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.

Explanation:

The new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, defined planet as  an object that orbits the sun, with sufficient mass to be round, not a satellite of another object, and has removed debris and small objects from the area around its orbit.

This new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, classified Pluto as "dwarf planet", because Pluto meets planetary criteria except that it has not cleared debris from its orbital neighborhood.

However, new Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in 2015, revealed that Pluto is much larger than originally thought

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.

Why do you think more people give importance to their body than their mind?​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

More people give more importance to their body because they want to be liked and fit in. They would rather fail in school and mess up their education to show off their body to be one of those cool kids in school.
