How does an octopus or a squid uses Newton's third law of motion to escape from enemies

1 answer:

4 0

I think everytime they swim away, the water pushes the enemy back, which makes the octopus go faster. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Hope this helps.

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie

Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance= Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

A nonconducting sphere of diameter 10.0 cm carries charge distributed uniformly inside with charge density of +5.50 µC/m3 . A pr

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

t = 2.58*10^-6 s

Explanation:

For a nonconducting sphere you have that the value of the electric field, depends of the region:

$rR:\\\\E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}$

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

R: radius of the sphere = 10.0/2 = 5.0cm=0.005m

In this case you can assume that the proton is in the region for r > R. Furthermore you use the secon Newton law in order to find the acceleration of the proton produced by the force:

$F=m_pa\\\\qE=m_pa\\\\k\frac{qQ}{r^2}=m_pa\\\\a=k\frac{qQ}{m_pr^2}$

Due to the proton is just outside the surface you can use r=R and calculate the acceleration. Also, you take into account the charge density of the sphere in order to compute the total charge:

$Q=\rho V=(5.5*10^{-6}C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)=2.87*10^{-9}C\\\\a=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(2.87*10^{-9}C)}{(1.67*10^{-27}kg)(0.05m)^2}=9.87*10^{11}\frac{m}{s^2}$

with this values of a you can use the following formula:

$a=\frac{v-v_o}{t}\\\\t=\frac{v-v_o}{a}=\frac{2550*10^3m/s-0m/s}{9.87*10^{11}m/s^2}=2.58*10^{-6}s$

hence, the time that the proton takes to reach a speed of 2550km is 2.58*10^-6 s
