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:

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

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

On the Moon the acceleration due to gravity is about one sixth that on Earth. If a golfer on the Moon imparted the same initial

swat32

Explanation:

We know that that the range of the ball on the earth

$R_{earth}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{earth}}$

therefore, range of the ball on moon

$R_{moon}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{moon}}$

$R_{moon}=\frac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g_{earth}/12}$

therefore,

$R_{moon}=6R_{earth}$

Therefore, the range of ball will be 6 times on the moon than that on earth

On a straight, level, two-lane road, two cars moving in opposite directions approach and pass each other. Car A is in the eastbo

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

Explanation:

a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

$\vec v_{A/B} = \vec v_{A} - \vec v_{B}\\\vec v_{A/B} = 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i + 31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{A/B} = 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i$

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).

b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

$\vec v_{B/A} = \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{A}\\\vec v_{B/A} = -31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i - 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{B/A} = - 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i$

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

How far from Earth must a space probe be along a line toward the Sun so that the Sun's gravitational pull on the probe balances

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

258774.9441 m

Explanation:

x = Distance of probe from Earth

y = Distance of probe from Sun

Distance between Earth and Sun = $x+y=149.6\times 10^6\ m$

G = Gravitational constant

$M_s$ = Mass of Sun = $1.989\times 10^{30}$

$M_e$ = Mass of Earth = $5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

According to the question

$\frac{GM_sm}{x^2}=\frac{GM_em}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{M_s}{x^2}=\frac{M_e}{y^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{M_s\times y^2}{M_e}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{1.989\times 10^{30}\times y^2}{5.972\times 10^{24}}}\\\Rightarrow x=577.10852y$

$x+y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow 577.10852y+y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow 578.10852y=149.6\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{149.6\times 10^6}{578.10852}\\\Rightarrow y=258774.9441\ m$

The probe should be 258774.9441 m from Earth

A potter's wheel is rotating around a vertical axis through its center at a frequency of 2.0 rev/s. The wheel can be considered

mart [117]

Answer:

$\omega_f=12.2954 \,rad.s^{-1}$ i.e.

$Frequency=1.9569\,rev.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed, $\omega_i =2\times 2\pi \,rad.s^{-1}$

mass of the disk, $M=4.9\,kg$

radius of the disk, $R=0.2\,m$

mass of the chunk, $m=2.7\,kg$

radius of the chunk, $r=0.04\,m$

We know that the angular momentum is given by:

$L=I.\omega$

and moment of inertia for a disc:

$I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2$

According to the conservation of angular momentum, the final angular momentum is equal to the initial angular momentum.

$\frac{1}{2} \times M.R^2\times \omega= \frac{1}{2} \times (M.R^2+m.r^2) \omega_f$

$4.9\times 0.2^2\times (2\times 2\pi)=(4.9\times 0.2^2+2.7\times 0.04^2 )\tiems \omega_f$

$\omega_f=12.2954 \,rad.s^{-1}$

$Frequency=1.9569\,rev.s^{-1}$
