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

\texttt{ }

<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 !

\texttt{ }

<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}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

<em>The speed of the archerfish immediately after it expels the drop of water is about </em><em>0.012 m/s</em>

A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of sledge hammer;

Mh =2.26 kg

Hammer speed;

Vh = 64.4 m/s

The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,

K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²

K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²

K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J

If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then

ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)

∆U = ¼ × 4686.52

∆U = 1171.63 J

Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that
3241004551 [841]
Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa
Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute =W_B=10 g

Given mass of solvent=W_A=90 g

k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m

Freezing point of solution =-3.33^{\circ}C

Freezing point of solvent =0^{\circ}C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33=3.33^{\circ}

\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}

M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}

M_B=62.06 g/mol

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.
