Archerfish are tropical fish that hunt by shooting drops of water from their mouths at insects above the water’s surface to knoc

k them into the water, where the fish can eat them. A 65-g fish at rest just at the surface of the water can expel a 0.30-g drop of water in a short burst of 5.0 ms. High-speed measurements show that the water has a speed of 2.5 m/s just after the archerfish expels it. What is the speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water?
(a) 0.0025 m/s
(b) 0.012 m/s
(c) 0.75 m/s
(d) 2.5 m/s.

Answer:

(b) 0.012 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass (m₁) of the drop of water = 0.30 g = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ kg

mass (M₂) of the fish = 65 g =  65 × 10⁻³ kg

speed (v₁) of the water = 2.5 m/s

speed (v₂) of the archerfish = ??

By conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ - M₂v₂ = 0

m₁v₁  = M₂v₂

v₂ = m₁v₁ / M₂

v₂ =  ( 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ × 2.5 ) /  65 × 10⁻³

v₂ = 0.0115 m/s

v₂ ≅ 0.012 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water 0.012 m/s.

Answer:

1) not so long (maybe an hour or two)

2) access to information through the internet will be most affected if my computer and mobile phone run out of battery power.

3) yes, one should prepare for power outage. This can be done by having a standby alternative source of power like the use of inverters that stores electrical energy in form of chemical energy, and small internal combustion engine powered electric generators.

4) solar panels can be used to draw power from incident sun rays, this power can be stored in an inverter for future use in case of a power outage.

5) energy from the sun is converted into direct current which is then supplied to an accumulator in the opposite direction to its flow of current. When the energy is needed, it can be used directly, or converted to an alternating current. This is achieved by connecting its terminal to the supply. Electric field is generated by flow of ions and electrons within the working chemical (e.g lithium).

ANSWER AND I WILL BUY A CAR
Natali [406]
You are exerting 100N. Since there’s no NET force, then there must be exactly 100N pushing exactly back on your 100N to cancel it to exactly zero. Newton's first law states that whether a body is at rest or travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, it will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a force.
