A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc

ky beach 2.10 s later. just before the clam lands, what is (a) its horizontal component of velocity, and (b) its vertical component of velocity? (c) how would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the speed of the crow were increased? explain.

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

$v_x = 2.70 m/s$

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8$

$v_f = 20.6 m/s$

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity $v_0$ of 23 m/s and a final velocity $v$ of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

$v=v_0+at$

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

$0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.1 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.4 x 10-8 m.

ziro4ka [17]

a) The charge on the outer surface is $1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b) The number of ions is $7.5\cdot 10^6$

Explanation:

a)

The membrane behaves as a parallel plate capacitor, whose capacity is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k = 4.3 is the dielectric constant

$\epsilon_0 =8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=5.1\cdot 10^{-9} m^2$ is the surface area

$d=1.4\cdot 10^{-8} m$ is the distance between the two plates

Substituting,

$C=\frac{(4.3)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(5.1\cdot 10^{-9})}{1.4\cdot 10^{-8}}=1.4\cdot 10^{-11} F$

The capacity of the membrane is related to the potential difference between the two surfaces by

$C=\frac{Q}{\Delta V}$

where here we have

Q = excess charge on one surface

$\Delta V = 85.5 mV = 0.0855 V$ is the potential difference between the two surfaces

Solving for Q, we find

$Q=C\Delta V=(1.4\cdot 10^{-11})(0.0855)=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

b)

We said that the net charge on the outer surface is

$Q=1.2\cdot 10^{-12} C$

The charge of one K+ ions is equal to the electron charge

$+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the number of ions on the outer surface can be found by dividing the total charge by the charge of a single ion:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^{-12}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=7.5\cdot 10^6$

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Determine the empirical formula for a compound that is 36.86% n and 63.14% o by mass.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

$NO_{1.499}$

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

$n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }$

$n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol$

$n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }$

$n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol$

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

$n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}$

$n^{*}= 1.499$

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

$NO_{1.499}$
