A 5 kg fish swimming at 1 m/s swallows an absentminded 500 g fish swimming toward it at a veloc- ity that brings both fish to a

halt immediately after lunch. What is the velocity of the approaching smaller fish before lunch?

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of large fish, M = 5 Kg

speed of swimming, v' = 1 m/s

mass of small fish, m = 500 g = 0.5 Kg

speed of the fish = v

using conservation of momentum

m v + M v' = M u' + m u

final speed of both the speed is zero.

- 0.5 x v + 5 x 1  = 0

negative sign is used because small fish is moving in opposite direction.

now,

0.5 v = 5

v = 10 m/s

hence, the speed of the small fish is equal to 10 m/s.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(a): The car's relative position to the base of the cliff is x= 32.52m.

(b): The lenght of the car in the ir is tfall= 1.78 sec.

Explanation:

Vo= 0

V= ?

d= 50m

h= 30m

a= 4 m/s²

t= √(2*d/a)

t= 5 sec

V= a*t

V= 20 m/s

Vx= V * cos(24º)

Vx= 18.27 m/s

Vy= V* sin(24º)

Vy= 8.13 m/s

h= Vy*t + g*t²/2

clearing t:

tfall= 1.78 sec (b)

x= Vx * tfall

x= 32.52 m (a)

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh
jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N

Distance, r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m

(a) F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}, q is the charge on the ion              

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}      

q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Real-world examples of power
Paha777 [63]
By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.

an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.
