Friction occurs when a swimmer pushes through the water to swim.

Hope this helps:)

An equal and opposite reaction force is exerted on the swimmer by the water, propelling the swimmer in the direction opposite to his push.
Also, he usually gets his hair wet.

Polar bears because they thrive in arctic conditions. But interestingly enough there have been some claims that they might be mating with grizzly bears to pass their genes on. But don't know the latest on that.

probably the arctic foxes too and the Greenland shark. Seabirds As Well

hope that helps :))

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 270 N/m and is executing simple harmonic m

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

maximum speed = 0.58 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here we know

m = 3.5 kg

k = 270 N/m

now we have

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{270}{3.5}}$

$\omega = 8.78 rad/s$

Part a)

Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as

$v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}$

$0.55 = 8.78 \sqrt{A^2 - 0.020^2}$

$A = 0.066 m$

Part b)

Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as

$v_{max} = A\omega$

$v_{max} = 0.066(8.78) = 0.58 m/s$

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! Describe each Newton Law. :)

Alex

Explanation:

1st- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

2nd- states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. (most important law)

3rd- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (law of action/reaction)
