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:

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

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

According to Newton's law of motion, when we shake a mango tree, mangoes fall down explain.

Reptile [31]

When we shake a mango tree, the mangoes fall down. It is because when we shake the tree, the mango tend to be rest due to inertia where as the branches are in motion. That is why the mangoes tend to be at rest due to inertia where as the branches are in the motion.

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu

Answer:

The frictional torque is $\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass attached to one end the string is $m_1 = 0.341 \ kg$

The mass attached to the other end of the string is $m_2 = 0.625 \ kg$

The radius of the disk is $r = 9.00 \ cm = 0.09 \ m$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

$T_1 = m_1 * g$

substituting values

$T_1 = 0.341 * 9.8$

$T_1 = 3.342 \ N$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the mass is mathematically represented as

$T_2 = m_2 * g$

$T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8$

$T_2 = 6.125 \ N$

The frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

$\tau = (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )$

substituting values

$\tau = ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342 * 0.09 )$

$\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

a goalkeeper catches a 491 g soccer ball traveling horizontally at 29.4 m/s. if it took 2,218 n of force to stop the ball, how m

yarga [219]

The ball will take 2.551 seconds to reach its peak position.

<h3>How much time will the ball take to land?</h3>

We must know how long the balls are in the air before we can predict where they will fall. It will take 2 seconds for both balls to touch the ground.

<h3>How quickly does a ball drop?</h3>

The falling ball travels a distance of d = 12 9.8 (m/s2) t2, with a speed of v = 9.8 (m/s2) t as a function of time. The ball travels 4.9 m in a second. The falling ball's velocity is v = -9.8 (m/s2) t j, and its position is r = (4.9 m - 12 9.8 (m/s2) t2) j as a function of time.

A force of 25N acts on a mass of 5.0kg, initially at rest. Calculate the distance travelled before achieving a velocity of 20m/s

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

40m

Explanation:

let's calculate the acceleration first

force = mass × acceleration

rearranging to find acceleration:

acceleration = force ÷ mass

force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg

acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2

we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance

rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is

s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a

v = 20, u = 0, a = 5

s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m

the distance is 40m

A gymnast dismounts off the uneven bars in a tuck position with a radius of 0.3m (assume she is a solid sphere) and an angular v

kifflom [539]

Here we will say that there is no external torque on the system so we will have

$L_i = L_f$

here we know that

$L_i = I_1\omega_1$

where we know that

$I_1 = \frac{2}{5}mr^2$

Also we know that

$I_2 = \frac{1}{12}mL^2$

initial angular speed will be

$\omega_1 = 2\pi(2rev/s) = 4\pi rad/s$

now from above equation

$\frac{2}{5}mr^2 (4\pi) = \frac{1}{12}mL^2 \omega$

$0.4(0.3)^2(4\pi) = \frac{1}{12}(1.5)^2\omega$

$0.452 = 0.1875 \omega$

now we have

$\omega = 2.41 rad/s$

so final speed will be 2.41 rad/s
