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.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

<em>The fish displacement was -3.4 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Distance and Displacement</u>

A moving object constantly travels some distance at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final points of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The displacement, when the object moves in one axis only is given by:

d = final position - initial position

We know the fist started at 7.8 m from a given reference along the x-axis.

After some undisclosed movements, it ends up at the position 4.4 m. Thus, the displacement is:

d = 4.4 m - 7.8 m = -3.4 m

This means the fish ended up to the left of the position it started from.

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

Using Hooke's law, F spring=k delta x, find the distance a spring with an elastic constant of 4 N/cm will stretch if a 2 newton

pishuonlain [190]

Hello!

Using Hooke's law, F spring=k delta x, find the distance a spring with an elastic constant of 4 N/cm will stretch if a 2 newton force is applied to it.

Data:

Hooke represented mathematically his theory with the equation:

F = K * Δx

On what:

F (elastic force) = 2 N

K (elastic constant) = 4 N/cm

Δx (deformation or elongation of the elastic medium or distance from a spring) = ?

Solving:

$F = K * \Delta{x}$

$2\:N = 4\:N/cm*\Delta{x}$

$4\:N/cm*\Delta{x} = 2\:N$

$\Delta{x} = \dfrac{2\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!N}{4\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!N/cm}$

simplify by 2

$\Delta{x} = \dfrac{2}{4}\frac{\div2}{\div2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\Delta{x} = \dfrac{1}{2}\:cm}}\Longleftarrow(distance)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

Answer:

B.) 1/2 cm

A motorcycle accelerates from a stop at a rate of 4m/s 2 for 20 seconds. It then continues at a

8_murik_8 [283]

After 20 s, the motorcycle attains a speed of

$\left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(20\,\mathrm s)=80\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and it continues at this speed for the next 40 s. So at 45 s, its speed is 80 m/s.

An empty truck traveling at 10 km/h has kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when loaded so that its mass and it

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

8 time increase in K.E.

Explanation:

Consider Mass of truck = m kg and speed = v m/s then

K.E. = 1/2 ×mv²

If mass and speed both are doubled i.e let m₀ = 2m and v₀ = 2v then

(K.E.)₀ = 1/2 ×2m(2v)²

(K.E.)₀ = 8 (1/2 × mv²) = 8 × K.E.

What is the acceleration??????

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: Acceleration is a measure of how fast velocity changes. Acceleration is the change of velocity divided by the change of time. Acceleration is a vector, and therefore includes both a size and a direction. In short, acceleration is the rate at which speed changes.
