Answer:

c. is negative

Explanation:

When the magnitude of force is multiplied with the force vector's projection along the direction of the vector of displacement which is negative as it is a resistive force we get the work done.

As the wind is acting in opposite direction of the force which is being applied by the plane the work done will be negative. Also, the net work will be the sum of many smaller negative quantities.

Hence, the answer here is negative.

Squids propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

v_squid = - 2,286 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved using conservation of the moment, the system is made up of the squid plus the water inside, therefore the force to expel the water is an internal force and the moment is conserved.

Initial moment. Before expelling the water

          p₀ = 0

the squid is at rest

Final moment. After expelling the water

         p_{f} = M V_squid + m v_water

         p₀ = p_{f}

          0 = M V_squid + m v_water

           c_squid = -m v_water / M

The mass of the squid without water is

            M = 9 -2 = 7 kg

let's calculate

           v_squid = 2 8/7

           v_squid = - 2,286 m / s

The negative sign indicates that the squid is moving in the opposite direction of the water

A rock falls from rest off a cliff and hits the ground in 2 seconds. If there is no air resistance, determine the rock's velocit
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

19.6m/s

Explanation:

A Rock falling off a cliff can be modeled as an object starting with  zero velocity moves with constant acceleration for certain period of time, for such motion following equation of motion can be used.

v(t) = v_{0} +at

here in our case v_{0} =0 because object starts off from rest and a = g =9.8m/s^2 is acceleration because of gravity ( Motion under gravity).

and of course t = 2 second.

Now by substituting all this information in equation of motion we get.

v(2s) = 0+9.8m/s^2 *2s = 19.6m/s

that would be the velocity of rock as it would hit the ground.

Note! We have assumed that there is no air resistance.

Before Newton and develop reflecting telescopes what instruments did astronomers use?
never [62]

The first telescopes were refracting telescopes ... a tube
with lenses at both ends.  The quality of the image depends
on the quality of both lenses, because the light must pass
through both of them. 

The reflecting telescope was an improvement, because the
light doesn't have to go through the mirror.  The quality of the
primary mirror only depends on the shape and shinyness of
its surface. 

If you could carve an optically perfect parabolic surface out of
a piece of wood and coat it with a thin layer of shiny silver, then
you could use a log to make a good reflecting telescope.
II seem to recall that Newton made one out of brass !
