Some good estimates about the human body can be made if it is assumed that we are made mostly of water. The mass of a water mole

cule is 2.99 * 10^-26 kg. If the mass of a person is 62 kg, estimate the number of water molecules in that person.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of water molecule m=2.99\times 10^{-26}\ kg

mass of person M=62\ kg

It is given that body is mostly made up of water

suppose n water molecules constitutes 62 kg

so n\times m=M

n=\frac{62}{2.99\times 10^{-26}}

n=20.73\times 10^{26}\ kg

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

Two boxers are fighting. Boxer 1 throws his 5 kg fist at boxer 2 with a speed of 9 m/s.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.001 s

Explanation:

The force applied on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force applied

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p=m(v-u)

where

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

So the original equation can be written as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}

In this problem:

m = 5 kg is the mass of the fist

u = 9 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

F = -45,000 N is the force applied (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion)

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for the time:

\Delta t=\frac{m(v-u)}{F}=\frac{(5)(0-9)}{-45,000}=0.001 s

Explain how the graphic organizer helped you formulate your decision and participate in the discussion.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The graphic organizers help to keep track of the details. They are a visual representation of knowledge that rescue the important aspects of a concept using labels within a scheme. They also present information in a concise manner, highlighting the organization and the relationship of the concepts. Graphic organizers help students organize their thinking process and their writing.

A ball is projected at an immovable wall with a speed vi and bounces back the wall in such a manner that it only has 1/3 of its
sergey [27]

The fraction of the kinetic energy of the ball lost during the collision is \frac{1}{3}.

The given parameters;

  • <em>initial speed of the ball, = vi</em>
  • <em>final momentum of the ball, Pf = ¹/₃Pi</em>

The initial and final momentum of the ball is calculated as;

P_i = m_ivi

P_f = m_fv_f = \frac{1}{3} m_iv_i

The initial and final kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} m_iv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2} P_iv_i\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} m_fv_f^2= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{3} P_iv_i)= \frac{1}{6} P_iv_i

The change in the kinetic energy is calculated as;

\Delta K.E = K.E_f - K.E_i \\\\\Delta K.E = \frac{1}{6} P_iv_i - \frac{1}{2} P_iv_i = \frac{1}{3} P_iv_i

Thus, the fraction of the kinetic energy of the ball lost during the collision is \frac{1}{3}.

A car travels in the + x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of the
sergejj [24]

Answer:

25 m

Explanation:

The relationship between Velocity, distance and time is given as

S = v/t........................... Equation 1

Where S = average velocity of the car, d = distance covered by the car, t = time

Making d the subject of the equation,

d = vt.................... Equation 2

Given: v = 6.25 m/s, t = 4.00 s.

Substitute into equation 2,

d = 6.25(4)

d = 25 m.

Hence, the distance traveled by the car = 25 m
