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

A fluid has a density of 921 kg/m^3. at a depth of 1.22 m, the fluid pressure is 122,000 Pa. what is the pressure at the top of
Igoryamba

Answer:

111,000 Pa

Explanation:

P = Patm + ρgh

122,000 Pa = Patm + (921 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1.22 m)

Patm = 111,000 Pa

A very light ping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a very heavy stationary bowling ball. The Ping-Pong ba
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows or

which means (1) so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2) therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:

Volcanism on Earth is always associated with plate tectonic activity.
hjlf

Volcanism is associated with two of the plate boundary types: divergent and convergent margins. ... Volcanism can also occur at intraplate volcanoes. These volcanoes are believed to have sources deeper down in the Earth's mantle that remain in a relatively fixed location relative to the always migrating plate boundaries.
