Answer:

102.52 W

Explanation:

Power: This ca be defined as the rate at which energy is used up.

The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = E/t.............. Equation 1

Where P = average power of the snake head, E = energy of the snake, t = time.

But,

E = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the head, v = velocity of the snake head.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = 1/2mv²/t ............ Equation 3

Given: m = 170 g = 0.17 kg, v = 28 m/s, t = 0.65 s.

Substitute into equation 3

P = 1/2(0.17)(28²)/0.65

P = 102.52 W.

Hence the average power of the snake = 102.52 W

If the load distance of a lever is 30 cm and the effort distance is 60 cm, calculate the amount of effort required to lift a loa
vladimir2022 [97]

Here,

Load distance (Ld) = 30 cm

Effort distance (Ed) = 60 cm

Load (L) = 200N

Effort (E) = ?

Now, By using formula,

or, E * Ed = L * Ld

or, E * 60 = 200 * 30

or, E = 6000/60

◆ E = 100N

This is a Right answer...

I hope you understand...

If two charged objects each have 2.5 C of charge on them and are located 100 m apart, how strong is the electrostatic force betw
LiRa [457]

Answer:

5.619×10⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

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

Where F = electrostatic force between the charges, k = coulomb's constant, q = first charge, q' = second charge, r = distance btween the charges

From the questiion,

Given: q = 2.5 C, q' = 2.5 C, r = 100 m

Constant: 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.5×2.5×8.99×10⁹)/100²

F = 56.19×10⁵

F = 5.619×10⁶ N

Identify the person who made the correct statement.
dmitriy555 [2]
The answer is:  [C]:  Neither Juan nor Christina are correct.
_________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________
Consider Juan's statement:
_______________________
"Juan said fossils deposits always contain only one type of organism."
__________________________
This statement is incorrect.  There are many instances of fossil deposits containing more than one type of organism.
___________________________________
Consider Christina's statement.
___________________________________
"Christina said fossil deposits never contain one type of organism."
___________________________________________
This statement is incorrect.  Fossil deposits, by definition (of "fossil") ALWAYS contain <u>at least one type</u> of organism.
___________________________________________
As such, neither Juan nor Christina are correct. 
   And as such, Answer choice: [C] is the correct answer.
_____________________
Answer choices A, B, and D are ruled out.

What is the reactive force when a fish swims through water?
natima [27]
The answer is D

This is an example of Newton's third law of motion.

The active force is the fish against the water, so the reactive force would be the reverse, the equal force of the water on the fish.
