Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th

e spores are launched is quite lightweight. If it takes a certain amount of energy to eject each spore, explain how launching the spores in pairs provides for the greatest initial launch speed for each spore.

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

A sculpture is suspended in equilibrium by two cables, one from a wall and the other
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle of cable 2 \theta=37.0\textdegree

Weight of sculpture W=5000 N

Generally the Tension from cable 2 T_2 is mathematically given by

   T_2sin37\textdegree=5000N

   T_2=5000N/sin37\textdegree

   T_2=8308.2N

Generally the Tension from Cable 1 T_1 is mathematically given by

   T_1=T_2 cos37\textdegree

   T_1=8308.2* cos 37\textdegree

   T_1=6655.295917 \approx 6655.3N

Imagine how mercury might be different if it had the same mass as earth. Explain.
maxonik [38]
I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.

When a current is passed through plasma and that current is increased will the temperature of the plasma increase . if it does t
Delicious77 [7]

The temperature of the plasma will increase as current is passed through it.

<h3>Meaning of Current and temperature</h3>

Current can be defined as a flow of charged particles through a medium and the particles includes: electrons or ions.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness experienced by a material.

The more current passes through the plasma the more energy is induced making the particles to move faster which in turns causes temperature to increase and reducing the resistance of the plasma.

In conclusion, The current causes temperature to increase and this reduces the resistance.

A proton moving at 8.9 × 106 m/s through a magnetic field of 0.96 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 3.8 × 10−13 N. Wha
goblinko [34]

Answer: 15.66 °

Explanation: In order to solve this proble we have to consirer the Loretz force for charge partcles moving inside a magnetic field. Thsi force is given by:

F=q v×B = qvB sin α where α is teh angle between the velocity and magnetic field vectors.

From this expression and using the given values we obtain the following:

F/(q*v*B) = sin α

3.8 * 10^-13/(1.6*10^-19*8.9*10^6* 0.96)= 0.27

then  α =15.66°
