Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

ng the cavity to force out the water through an opening. A 6.50 kg squid (including the water in the cavity) at rest suddenly sees a dangerous predator. A. If the squid has 1.55 kg of water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water to suddenly achieve a speed of 2.60 m/s to escape the predator? Neglect any drag effects of the surrounding water.
B. How much kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver?

Answer:

A) The speed of the water must be 8.30 m/s.

B) Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver is 70.12 Joules.

Explanation:

A) Mass of squid with water = 6.50 kg

Mass of water in squid cavuty = 1.55 kg

Mass of squid = $m_1=6.50 kg- 1.55 kg=4.95 kg$

Velocity achieved by squid = $v_1=2.60 m/s$

Momentum gained by squid = $P=m_1v_1$

Mass of water = $m_2=1.55 kg$

Velocity by which water was released by squid = $v_2$

Momentum gained by water but in opposite direction = $P'=m_2v_2$

P = P'

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{4.95 kg\times 2.60 m/s}{1.55 kg}=8.30 m/s$

B) Kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver:

Kinetic energy of squid = K.E = $\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}$

Kinetic energy of water = K.E' = $\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver:

$K.E+K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.95 kg\times (2.60 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.55 kg\times (8.30 m/s)^2=70.12 Joules$

If a substance conducts heat easily, it is considered to be agood insulator.bad substance.good conductor.poor conductor.

NARA [144]

If a Substance conducts heat easily then it is considered a good conductor, since the electrons can move freely within the substance.

A 9.6 cm diameter circular loop of wire is in a 1.10 T magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The loop is remove

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Thus induced emf is 0.0531 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the loop, $d = 9.6\ cm = 0.096\ m$

Thus the radius of the loop, R = 0.048 m

Time in which the loop is removed, t = 0.15 s

Magnetic field, B = 1.10 T

Now,

The average induced emf, e is given by Lenz Law:

$e = - \frac{\Delta \phi_{B}}{\Delta t}$

$e = - \frac{\Delta \phi_{B}}{\Delta t}$

where

$\phi_{B}$ = magnetic flux = $A\Delta B$

where

A = cross sectional area

Also, we know that:

$e = - \frac{A\Delta B}{\Delta t}$

$e = - \frac{\pi r^{2}\times (0 - 1.10)}{0.15}$

$e = - \frac{\pi \times 0.048^{2}\times (0 - 1.10)}{0.15}$

e = 0.0531 V

The sketch is shown in the figure, where I indicates the direction of the induced current.

The 300 m diameter Arecibo radio telescope is observing the Andromeda galaxy at a wavelength of 29 cm. show answer No Attempt 50

jekas [21]

Answer:

The angle between two just-resolvable stars for the Arecibo telescope is $1.179x10^{-3}rad$ .

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope obtained from an object is a diffraction pattern.

That diffraction pattern is obtained because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interact with the walls and edges of the instrument).

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction patterns maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in an analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.

$\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}$ (1)

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.

$\lambda = 29cm \cdot \frac{1m}{100cm}$ ⇒ $0.29m$

Finally, equation 1 can be used.

$\theta = 1.22(\frac{0.29m}{300m})$

$\theta = 1.179x10^{-3}rad$

Hence, the angle between two just-resolvable stars for the Arecibo telescope is $1.179x10^{-3}rad$
