Explanation:

The relative velocity is the velocity of the athlete relative to the ground plus the velocity of the javelin relative to the athlete.

v = 4.2 m/s + 10.3 m/s

v = 14.5 m/s

action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction then , why do not they balance each other

Galina-37 [17]

Explanation:

Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don’t cancel each other out.

Idaho Jo is doing physics experiments throughout the solar system. She travels to each planet and shoots a potato straight up in

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Mercury / Mars

Explanation:

For an object launched straight upward, the following SUVAT equation can be used

$v^2-u^2=-2gh$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration of gravity (free fall acceleration) (the negative sign is due to the downward direction of gravity)

h is the maximum height reached

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so v = 0. Re-arranging the equation,

$h=\frac{u^2}{2g}$

So we see that for equal initial velocity (u), the maximum height reaches is inversely proportional to the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, the potato gun will reach the highest altitude in the planets with lowest acceleration of gravity, therefore Mercury and Mars (3.7 and 3.6 m/s^2).

A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flowmeter. Suppose the device is used at a service station to measure the flow rate of gas

leonid [27]

Answer

given,

flow rate = p = 660 kg/m³

outer radius = 2.8 cm

P₁ - P₂ = 1.20 k Pa

inlet radius = 1.40 cm

using continuity equation

A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

π r₁² v₁ = π r₁² v₂

$v_1= \dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} v_2$

$v_1= \dfrac{1.4^2}{2.8^2} v_2$

$v_1= 0.25 v_2$

Applying Bernoulli's equation

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.25 v_2)^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 (1 - 0.0625)$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\Delta P}{\rho(1 - 0.0625)}}$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1200}{660 \times(1 - 0.0625)}}$

v₂ = 1.97 m/s

b) fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.014)² x 1.97

Q = 1.21 x 10⁻³ m³/s

2. Which part of a refracting telescope forms the image?

Bezzdna [24]

In a refracting telescope convex lens forms the image.

Answer: c. Convex mirror

Explanation:

Telescope is an instrument used for magnification of distant objects. The convex lenses objective and eyepiece are the two parts of a refracting telescope.

Objective has a greater focal length when compared with the eyepiece. Image of a distant object is formed at the second focal point of the objective. This image is magnified by the eyepiece.

The objective and eyepiece lenses can only produce an inverted image since they both are convex lenses. The function of producing a final erect image is performed by a pair of inverting lenses.
