Answer:

Runner will run for 210m

Step by Step Explanation:

According to Newton's first of motion,

Vf=Vi+at

Given is

the speed with which runner is running will be Vi, he is running with accelertion a=4.2m/s2 fot time t=10sec

Vf will be 0 because runner will stop after winning the race

we will find Vi from equation 1,

Vi=Vf-at

= 0- 4.2*10

=-42 m/s (negative sign is showing decceleration)

So, Vi=42 m/s

According to Newton's third of motion,

2aS= Vf^2-Vi^2

S is distance, he will cover before stopping,

2(4.2)S= 0- 42^2

S=1764/8.4

S=210m

Runner will run for 210m

In which case does viscosity play a dominant role? Case A: a typical bacterium (size ~ 1 mm1 mm and velocity ~ 20 mm/s20 mm/s) i

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

given,

size of bacteria = 1 mm x 1 mm

velocity = 20 mm/s

size of the swimmer = 1.5 m x 1.5 m

velocity of swimmer = 3 m/s

Viscous force

$F = \eta A \dfrac{dv}{dx}$

for the bacteria

$F = \eta \times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-3}$

$F =2\times 10^{-8} \eta\ N$

for the swimmer

$F = \eta \times 1.5^2\times 3$

$F =6.75 \eta\ N$

from the above force calculation

In case B inertial force that represent mass is more than the inertial force in case of bacteria.

Viscous force is dominant in case of bacteria.

So, In Case A viscous force will be dominant.

The force of attraction that holds two atoms together within a molecule is

makvit [3.9K]

Answer: The force of attraction that holds two molecules is a chemical bond

Explanation:

What is Chemical bonds?

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to make compounds or molecules.

Types of chemical bonds

Chemical bonds include

1.covalent,

2. polar covalent, and

3. ionic bonds.

Atoms with relatively similar electronegativities share electrons between them and are connected by covalent bonds.

Explain velocity ratio. Explain and define the efficiency of a machine

Norma-Jean [14]

Velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves, to that which the driving part moves during the same time. An object has a mechanical advantage if it exerts a force higher than the velocity ratio.

Suppose a magnetic reversal accoured today .

Brut [27]

They would have the magnetic parts of the rocks oriented differently. This leaves a trace that allow scientists to find out how often this actually happens (as far as I remember, it's on average once in 800 000 years)
