Starting from rest, a 2.1x10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exert

s an average upward force of 0.41 N on it. This force does 3.7x10^-4 J of work on the flea.
(a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground?
(b) How far upward does the flea move while it is pushing off? Ignore both air resistance and the flea's weight.

Answer:

a) The flea's speed when it leaves the ground is v=1.88m/s

b) The flea move 18cm upward while it is pushing off

Explanation:

Hi

<u>Knwons</u>

Mass m=2.1\times 10^{-4} kg, Work W=3.7\times 10^{-4} J and Force F=0.41N

a) Here we are going to use W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}, so v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} }= \sqrt{\frac{2(3.7\times 10^{-4} J)}{2.1\times 10^{-4} kg} }=1.88m/s

a) Here we are going to use W=mgh, so h=\frac{W}{mg}= \frac{3.7\times 10^{-4} J}{(2.1\times 10^{-4} kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0,1797m or 18cm approx.

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density 1.23 g/cm3. The area of ea
motikmotik

Explanation:

Work done by gravity is given by the formula,

           W = \rho A (h_{1} - h)g (h - h_{2}) ......... (1)

It is known that when levels are same then height of the liquid is as follows.

           h = \frac{h_{1} + h_{2}}{2} ......... (2)

Putting value of equation (2) in equation (1) the overall formula will be as follows.

       W = \frac{1}{4} \rho gA(h_{1} - h_{2})^{2})

           = \frac{1}{4} \times 1.23 g/cm^{3} \times 9.80 m/s^{2} \times 3.89 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}(1.76 m - 0.993 m)^{2})

           = 0.689 J

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gravitational force in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is 0.689 J.

In a closed system, what happens to the total energy of the system as energy conversion takes place?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.

The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern is 25.0 cm. What is the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Answer:

Speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given frequency in the string fixed at both ends is 80 Hz

Distance between adjacent antipodes is 20 cm

We know that distance between two adjacent anti nodes is equal to half of the wavelength

So \frac{\lambda }{2}=20cm

2

λ

=20cm

\lambda =40cmλ=40cm

We have to find the speed of the wave in the string

Speed is equal to v=\lambda f=0.04\times 80=3.2m/secv=λf=0.04×80=3.2m/sec

So speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is...
ella [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by  subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

You are studying a population of flowering plants for several years. When you present your research findings you make the statem
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The graph for this problem must depict the following ""Increased allocation of resources to reproduction relative to growth diminished future fecundity."

Hence, the survivor ship must be on the Y axis and the resources on the X axis.

Here the resources include the number of seeds produced.

hence, the higher is the number of seeds (resource), the lower is the survivorship (future fecundity)

Hence, option A is correct
