Answer:

Light is one of nature's ways of moving energy from one place to another.

Explanation:

It has no substance, or mass. How does light travel? Light behaves like a traveling wave, something like waves in a string or on the surface of water.

If three devices are plugged into one port on a switch and two devices are plugged into a different port, how many collision dom

Neporo4naja [7]

Collision domain is a portion in the network where there is a possibility of formation of packets. This occurs when two or more devices are able to send a packet to a single switch or port on the network that is shared, on the same time. It was noted that this collision domain reduces the efficiency of the network.

For this item, the first packet is the whole switch with the three devices. Next one would be first of the three devices that is connected to the other port. Similarly, the third one would be the second of the three devices that is also connected to the switch. Therefore, the answer is 3.

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

liq [111]

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.
