Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

ng the cavity to force out the water through an opening. A 6.00 kg squid (including the water in the cavity) at rest suddenly sees a dangerous predator.If the squid has 1.85 kg of water in its cavity, at what speed must it expel this water to instantaneously achieve a speed of 2.70 m/s to escape the predator? Neglect any drag effects of the surrounding water.

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

p_f=p_i

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}

with Po the momentum of the octopus and Pw the momentum of expelled water. Linear momentum is defined as mass times velocity:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=m_o*v_{oi}+m_w*v_{wi}

Note that initially the octopus has the water in its cavity and both are at rest before it sees the predator so v_{oi}=v_{wi} = 0\frac{m}{s}:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=0

We should find the final velocity of water if the final velocity of the octopus is 2.70 m/s, solving for v_{wf}:

v_{wf}=-\frac{m_o*v_{of}}{m_w}=-\frac{(6.00-1.85)*(2.70)}{1.85}

v_{wf}=-6.06\frac{m}{s}

The minus sign indicates the velocity of the water is opposite the velocity of the octopus.

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 mm from the bulb, the light i
slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) \frac{1}{4}(I_o)

(b) \frac{1}{4} (u_o)

(c) \frac{1}{2}B_o

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒  \frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}

⇒     =I_o\times \frac{1}{4}

⇒     =\frac{1}{4} (I_o)

(b)

As we know,

⇒ \frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}

By putting the values, we get

⇒ u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)

(c)

⇒ \frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}

         =\frac{I}{I_o}

⇒ B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }

⇒     =\frac{1}{2}(B_o)

A person is pulling their 20 kg luggage using the luggage handle. The handle is at an angle of 56 degrees above the horizontal.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  a = 1.99 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = 20 kg

angle = 56°

Force = 71 N

horizontal acceleration = ?

Process

Find the horizontal force

                                           cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

                                          adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

                                          adjacent side = 71 x cos 56

                                          a.s. = 39.70 N

Newton's second law

                                  F = ma

                                  a = F/m

                                 a = 39.7 / 20

                                  a = 1.99 m/s²

Help me pleaseee, it’s due today: Two people push on a large gate as shown on the view from above in the diagram. If the moment
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

the angular acceleration of the gate is approximately 1.61  \frac{rad}{s^2}

Explanation:

Recall the formula that connects the net torque with the moment of inertia of a rotating object about its axis of rotation, and the angular acceleration (similar to Newton's second law with net force, mass, and linear acceleration):

\sum \tau_1=I\,\alpha

In our case, both forces contribute to the same direction of torque, so we can add their torques up and get the net torque on the gate:

\tau_{net}=(20*2+30*3.5) \,N\,m=145\,\,N\,m

Now we use this value to obtain the angular acceleration by using the given moment of inertia of the rotating gate:

\sum \tau_1=I\,\alpha\\145\,\,N\.m=(90\,\,kg\,m^2)\,\alpha\\\alpha= \frac{145}{90} \frac{rad}{s^2} = 1.61\, \frac{rad}{s^2}

Stells [14]

Pot     conducts heat

Bin     Insulates from heat

Plate   Insulate from heat and brittle

Explanation:

Any material that is able to conduct heat is known as a conductor. Also, most heat conductors also allows electric current to pass through.

Most metals are categorized as heat conductors. A pot is usually made of conductors which helps to transfer heat to cook food.

Any material that does not conduct heat is called an insulator. Likewise, they do not allow electric current to pass through.

Most non-metals, plastics, rubber, wood, paper are insulators.

A brittle material that breaks into many pieces is a plastic. Their elastic limit is obviously exceeded and they lack internal cohesion and order. A glass used in making plate is also plastic and brittle.
