Archerfish are tropical fish that hunt by shooting drops of water from their mouths at insects above the waterÂs surface to knoc

k them into the water, where the fish can eat them. a 65-g fish at rest just at the surface of the water can expel a 0.30-g drop of water in a short burst of 5.0 ms. high-speed measurements show that the water has a speed of 2.5 m/s just after the archerfish expels it.

Answer:

.012

Explanation:

Take the mass of the fish and divide it by the mass of the water:

65/.30=216.667

Divide the given speed by the value we found above:

2.5/216.667=.0115

Answer can be rounded up to .012

The speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water is about (b) 0.012 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

$\large {\boxed {F = ma }$

F = Force ( Newton )

m = Object's Mass ( kg )

a = Acceleration ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<em><u>The Question:</u></em>

<em>What is the speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water? </em>

<em>(a) 0.0025 m/s; </em><em>(b) 0.012 m/s</em><em>; (c) 0.75 m/s; (d) 2.5 m/s.</em>

<u>Given:</u>

mass of fish = m₁ = 65 g

mass of drop of water = m₂ = 0.30 g

speed of water = v₂ = 2.5 m/s

initial speed of water = initial speed of archerfish = u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

<u>Asked:</u>

the speed of the archerfish = v₁ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Conservation of Momentum Law </em><em>as follows:</em>

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2$

$65(0) + 0.30(0) = 65v_1 + 0.30(2.5)$

$0 + 0 = 65v_1 + 0.75$

$65v_1 = -0.75$

$v_1 = -0.75 \div 65$

$\boxed{v_1 \approx -0.012 \texttt{ m/s}}$

By what potential difference must a proton [m_0 = 1.67E-27 kg) be accelerated to have a wavelength lambda = 4.23E-12 m? By what

Vinil7 [7]

Explanation:

1. Mass of the proton, $m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Wavelength, $\lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pq_pV}}$

$V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_pm_p\lambda^2}$

$V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}$

V = 45.83 volts

2. Mass of the electron, $m_p=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Wavelength, $\lambda_p=4.23\times 10^{-12}\ m$

We need to find the potential difference. The relationship between potential difference and wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eq_eV}}$

$V=\dfrac{h^2}{2q_em_e\lambda^2}$

$V=\dfrac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (4.23\times 10^{-12})^2}$

$V=6.92\times 10^{34}\ V$

V = 84109.27 volt

Hence, this is the required solution.

(6.MS-ETS2-1(MA).) The electrons in __________ move about more freely than the electrons in insulators which is why this type of

Tresset [83]

Answer:

A) conductors

Explanation:

A conductor can be defined as any material or object that allows the free flow of current or electrons (charge) in one or more directions in an electrical circuit. Some examples of a conductor are metals, tungsten, copper, aluminum, iron, graphite, etc.

Basically, the main purpose of a conductor in physics is to provide a low-resistance path between electrical circuits or components. This low-resistance path is to ensure that the electrical components allows the free flow of electrons and thus, enabling charge transfer.

Hence, the electrons in conductors move about more freely than the electrons in insulators which is why this type of material can be used to create electric circuits because it would significantly provide a low-resistance path between the electric circuits.

An astronaut has a mass of 75 kg and is floating in space 500 m from his 125,000 kg spacecraft. What will be the force of gravit

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force of attraction.

Mass of astronaut (M₁) = 75 Kg

Mass of spacecraft (M₂) = 125000 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 500 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ /r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 75 × 125000 / 500²

F = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Thus, the force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft is 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. Determination of the acceleration of the astronaut.

Mass of astronaut (m) = 75 Kg

Force (F) = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Acceleration (a) of astronaut =?

The acceleration of the astronaut can be obtained as follow:

F = ma

2.5×10¯⁹ N = 75 × a

Divide both side by 75

a = 2.5×10¯⁹ / 75

a = 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Thus, the acceleration the astronaut is 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Kara is writing a science-fiction story. In the story, Earth no longer experiences day and night.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

C. She should get the Earth spinning on its axis again.

Explanation:

The Earth experiences day and night because of its spinning on its own axis.

If Kara's science-fiction story doesn't have the Earth spinning on its own axis, then the Earth will not experience day and night and hence Kara should incorporate this idea into his story.
