Basilisk lizards can run on water by slapping their feet against the water surface very rapidly. Each step provides sufficient i

mpulse in the vertical direction to maintain their height above the water. If a basilisk's mass is 90 grams and it takes 4 steps per second, what is the vertical impulse the basilisk recieves with each step in N-s?

Answer:

I=0.2205kgm/s

Explanation:

On each step the basilisk must provide an upward force that counters its weight, which is equal to W=mg. Since there are 4 steps in a given second, each step is performed every 0.25 seconds, so the impulse that each of the basilisk's steps provides will be I=F\Delta t=W\Delta t=mg\Delta t=(0.090kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.25s)=0.2205kgm/s

For a monatomic ideal gas, temperature is proportional to : the square of the average atomic velocity.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

the square of the average atomic velocity.

Explanation:

From the formulas for kinetic energy and temperature for a monoatomic gas, which has three translational degrees of freedom, the relationship between root mean square velocity and temperature is as follows:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} (1)

Where  v_{rms} is the root mean square velocity, M is the molar mass of the gas, R is the universal constant of the ideal gases and T is the temperature.

The root mean square velocity is a measure of the velocity of the particles in a gas. It is defined as the square root of the mean square velocity of the gas molecules:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{} (2)

substituting 2 in 1, we find the relationship between mean square speed and temperature:

\sqrt{}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\\T=\frac{M}{3R}\\\\T\sim

A flat disk, a solid sphere, and a hollow sphere each have the same mass m and radius r. The three objects are arranged so that
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

I_{disc} = \frac{1}{2}mR^2

I_{sphere} = \frac{2}{5}mR^2

I_{hollow} = \frac{2}{3}mR^2

so largest moment of inertia is for Hollow Sphere

Explanation:

Moment of inertia flat disc is given as

I_{disc} = \frac{1}{2}mR^2

moment of inertia of solid sphere

I_{sphere} = \frac{2}{5}mR^2

moment of inertia of hollow sphere

I_{hollow} = \frac{2}{3}mR^2

all the three objects are given with same mass and same radius

so largest moment of inertia is for Hollow Sphere

3) A 900N mountain climber scales a 100m cliff. How much work is done by the mountain climber?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

90 kJ

Explanation:

Work = force × distance

W = (900 N) (100 m)

W = 90,000 J

W = 90 kJ

A student slides her 80.0-kg desk across the level floor of her dormitory room a distance 4.00 m at constant speed. If the coeff
zysi [14]

Answer:

Work done is equal to 125.44 J

Explanation:

We have given mass of the student m = 80 kg

Distance moved d = 4 m

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu =0.4

So normal force exerted by student F=\mu mg=0.4\times 80\times 9.8=313.6N

We know that work done is equal to multiplication of force and distance

So work done W=Fd=313.6\times 0.4=125.44J

There is a simple pattern for determining if a binary number is odd. what is it and why does this pattern occur
frez [133]
The answer to this question would be the least number (right most number).

If you add an even number with even number, the result should be even. But if there is just one odd number added, it will be odd.
In binary, all the number is multiplied by 2^{x}. It is pretty clear that all the number should be even beside the first/lowest multiplier 2^{0}  which has potential to be 1.
