Which of newtons laws is illustrated by a squid moving forward by shooting water out behind it? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

I believe its newtons 3rd law for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction since the squid is moving foward by shooting the water its pushing the squid back as its reaction. Hope this helped !

A Hooke's law spring is compressed 12.0 cm from equilibrium, and the potential energy stored is 72.0 J. What compression (as mea

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:14.14 cm

Explanation:

Given

Spring Compression $x=12 cm$

Potential energy Stored in spring $=72 J$

Suppose k is the spring constant of spring

Potential Energy of spring is given by $=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$\frac{k(0.12)^2}{2}=72$

$k(0.12)^2=144$

$k=10,000 N/m$

$k=10 kN/m$

for 100 J energy

$\frac{k(x_0)^2}{2}=100$

$10\times 10^3\cdot (x_0)^2=200$

$(x_0)^2=2\times 10^{-2}$

$x_0=0.1414$

$x_0=14.14 cm$

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. (a) what fraction of its initial energy is los

Scilla [17]

a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf

The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100

and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with just E=hi/hf
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the energy or 0.25 in fraction

b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd

where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the initial velocity while d is the distance travelled

so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that variable
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so vf is 0

therefore,

vi =sqrt(-2gd) 
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) 
vi =5.4 m/s

c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the air and the ground.

Stars combine Hydrogen to make Helium during nuclear fusion. Living things are made of heavier elements like Carbon, Oxygen, Iro

They were formed in the nuclear fusion reaction inside older stars.

As a star burns, fusion reactions inside its core create heavier elements. Those materials are released when the star dies of old age in an explosion.

Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,
