A beetle crawling around on a desk walks 19 cm in 17 seconds to the right. It then changes direction and walks 6 cm in 6 seconds

to the left. What is the average speed of the beetle in cm/s?
Physics

Answer: 11.5secs

Explanation:

They said what the average speed is so to find the average you have to find the mean so 17secs + 6secs = 23secs / 2 = 11.5secs.

3. What is the gravitational force between a 70 kg physics student and her 1 kg textbook, at a distance of 1 meter? (This number
Rina8888 [55]

ANSWER

\begin{equation*} 4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{equation*}

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Mass of the student, M = 70 kg

Mass of the textbook, m = 1 kg

Distance, r = 1 m

To find the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook, apply the formula for gravitational force:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G = gravitational constant

Therefore, the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook is:

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{6.67430*10^{-11}*70*1}{1^2} \\  \\ F=4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{gathered}

That is the answer.

A 6.0-kilogram block, sliding to the east across a horizontal, frictionless surface with a momentum of 30.0 kilogram · meters pe
Lina20 [59]

The final speed of the block after the collision with the obstacle is \boxed{3.33\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the block is 6.0\,{\text{kg}}.

The initial momentum of the block is 30\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}.

The impulse imparted by the obstacle is 10\,{\text{N}} \cdot {\text{s}}.

Concept:

The block is sliding towards east and the impulse imparted by the obstacle is towards the obstacle is towards west on the block. It means that the impulse exerted by the obstacle will reduce the momentum of the block.

According to the impulse momentum theorem, the rate of change of momentum of the body is equal to the impulse imparted to the body.

The expression for the impulse momentum theorem is.

{p_f} - p{ & _i} = I               …… (1)                                    

Substitute 30\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} for {p_i} and - 10\,{\text{N}} \cdot {\text{s}} for I  in equation (1).

 \begin{aligned}{p_f} &= - 10\,{\text{N}} \cdot {\text{s}} + 30\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} \\&= 20\,{{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{kg}} \cdot {\text{m}}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}

The final momentum of the block can be expressed as:

{p_f} = m{v_f}                   …… (2)                                  

Substitute 20\text{kg}\;\text{m/s} for {p_f} and 6.0\,{\text{kg}} for m in equation (2).

 \begin{aligned}20 &= 6 \times {v_f} \\ {v_f}&= \frac{{20}}{6}\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\&= 3.33\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}} \\ \end{aligned}

Thus, the final speed of the block after the collision with the obstacle is \boxed{3.33\;\text{m/s}}.

Describe how pieces of rope move as waves pass
MaRussiya [10]
Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)

Maybe that'll help

A gorilla weighs 8.00x10^2N and swings from vine to vine. As the gorilla grads a new vine, both vines make an angle of 30 degree
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

461.88 N  

Explanation:

Let tension in each vine be T .

The vertical component of this tension of both the vine will add up and balance the weight .

2T cos 30 = mg

2 T x cos 30 = 800

T  = 800 / (2 x cos30 )

= 461.88 N
