If 5 mm of rain falls in a 100 m2 field, what volume of rain, in m3, fell in the field?

Nina [5.8K]

The volume of rain that fells in the field is simply given by the area of the field, which is

$A=100 mm^2$

multiplied by the height of rain that fell, which is

$h=5.0 mm$

Therefore, the volume is

$V=hA=(5 mm)(100 mm^2)=500 mm^3$

In which situation is work being done?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: D. The force and displacement are in the same direction.

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path with distance $d$ .

Work is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy).

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement are <u>parallel</u>, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it $\alpha$ . In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:

$W=Fdcos{\alpha}$ (2)

When the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, $\alpha=90\°$ and <u>no work is done</u>.

hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 45 times as massive and falling at 8.1 m/s , a typical raindrop speed. How fast i

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

7.92 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of raindrop = $45m_2$

$m_2$ = Mass of mosquito

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of raindrop = 8.1 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of mosquito = 0 m/s

$v$ = Velocity of center of mass

For elastic collision

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{m_1 + m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{45m_2\times 8.1 + m_2\times 0}{45m_2 + m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{364.5m_2}{46m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=7.92\ m/s$

Hence, the velocity of the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward is 7.92 m/s

Tectonic plates are large segments of the earth's crust that move slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1.267 nanometers.

Explanation:

From the question,

Speed = distance/time.

S = d/t.................. Equation 1

Make d the subject of the equation,

d = S×t ............................... Equation 2

Given: S = 4.0 cm/year, t = 1 seconds = 3.17×10⁻⁸ years

Substitute into equation 2

d = 4×3.17×10⁻⁸ =

12.68×10⁻⁸ cm = 12.67×10⁻⁸×10⁷

d = 1.267 nanometers.

Hence the Tectonic plates move 1.267 nanometers.
