Squids rely on jet propulsion to move around. A 1.50 kg squid (including the mass of water inside the squid) drifting at 0.40 m/

ssuddenly ejects 0.14 kg of water to quickly get itself moving at 2.50 m/s.If drag is ignored over the small interval of time needed to expel the water (the impulse approximation), what is the water's ejection speed relative to the squid?

Answer:

-22.5 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of squid = 1.5 kg

m_2 = Mass of water ejected = 0.14 kg

v_1 = Velocity of squid = 0.4 m/s

v_2 = Velocity of squid after ejection = 2.5 m/s

v = Velocity of water ejection

In this system the momentum is conserved

m_1v_1+(m_1-m_2)v_2+m_1v=0\\\Rightarrow 1.5\times 0.4-2.5(1.5-0.14)-1.5v=0\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{-1.5\times 0.4+(1.5-0.14)\times 2.5}{-0.14}\\\Rightarrow v=-20\ m/s

The velocity of the water ejection relative to the squid is

-20+(-2.5) = -22.5 m/s

The negative sign indicates the opposite direction to the direction of the squid.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses
dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
Ket [755]
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
E=hf
where h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1} is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J

Three resistors of resistances, R1=10Ω, R2=5Ω, R3=20Ω are connected in a circuit in such way that same amount of current flows t
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer

Explanation:

As the three resistors are connected in series, the expression to be used for the  

calculation of RT equivalent resistance

is:  

RT = R1 + R2 + R3

We replace the data of the statement in the previous expression and it remains:  

5 10 15 RT + R1 + R2 + R3 + +

We perform the mathematical operations that lead us to the result we are looking for:  

RT - 30Ω

A positively charged plastic ruler is brought close to a piece paper resting on the desk. The piece of paper was initially neutr
stealth61 [152]

Answer: static electricity

Explanation:

When the plastic ruler is rubbed, friction opposes the motion and causes the transfer of electron from one surface to another such that plastic becomes negatively charged. When ruler is brought nearer to the paper, it induces the   positive charge in the piece of paper.
