Answer:

Explanation:

Length of small intestine = 6 m

force applied = .14 N

Work done = force x displacement

= .14 x 6

= 9.6 J

Answer:

Explanation:

Length of small intestine, L = 6 m

Force, F = 0.14 N

Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance traveled.

Work = Force x length of the intestine

W = 0.14 x 6

W = 0.84 Joule

An Alpha particle moving in north direction give reasons​
Mazyrski [523]

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

An alpha particle , can move in any direction randomly. But with a magnetic field , we can deflect the alpha particle in any direction we want.

So , the magnetic field must be placed to the west of the alpha particle , so that the particle gets deflected and moves towards the north direction.

Thank you.

mart [117]
The space between the cars closes at (70+65)=135 km/hr. They collide in (405/135)=3 hours after they start moving. In 3 hours, the canary covers (100km/hr x 3)= 300 km.

Two hockey players are skating toward each other on a frictionless ice. One is moving at 1 m/s while the other is traveling at 2
MAVERICK [17]

Their combined speed will be 1m/s

Given the following parameters;

  • The velocity of the first hockey player is 1m/s.
  • The velocity of the second hockey player is 2m/s.

If the player collides and stick together, the combined speed is expressed as;

  • Combined speed = differences in velocity
  • Combined speed = 2m/s - 1m/s
  • Combined speed = 1m/s.

Hence their combined speed will be 1m/s
