Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)

A pirate ship shoots a cannon towards an oncoming ship. The cannon ball has a mass of 25 kg and the ship has a mass of 2500 kg.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Explanation:

Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:

m_sv_s + m_bv_b = 0

where m_s = 2500 kg, m_b = 25 kg are masses of the ship and ball respectively. v_s = 0.25 m/s, v_b are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.

2500*0.25 + 25*v_b = 0

25v_b = -2500*0.25

v_b = -2500*0.25/25 = -25 m/s

So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Identrying the speed of the Cart
aleksklad [387]

The speed of the cart after 3 seconds of Low fan speed is equal to 54 cm/s.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using this formula;

Speed = distance/time

At Low fan speed after 3 seconds, the distance covered is 162 cm:

Speed = 162/3

Speed = 54 cm/s.

At Medium fan speed after 5 seconds, the distance covered is 600 cm:

Speed = 600/5

Speed = 120 cm/s.

At High fan speed after 2 seconds, the distance covered is 128 cm:

Speed = 128/2

Speed = 64 cm/s.

Why is it important for body cell to have twice and many chromosomes as sex cells?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Why sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body?  As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. Why? The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.

drek231 [11]

Answer:The rate of ejection of photoelectrons will increase

Explanation:

If the frequency of incident monochromatic light is held constant and its intensity is increased, the rate of ejection of photoelectrons from the metal surface increases with increase in intensity of the monochromatic light. More current flows due to more ejection of photoelectrons.
