Answer:

before this type of attack, high acceleration is the most important thing.

Explanation:

As the zebra is ambushed by the crocodile the most important thing is a quick reaction, in this attack the most likely is that the crocodile is in the water so it cannot run after the zebra.

Consequently, before this type of attack, high acceleration is the most important thing.

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve
Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision  = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2

v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

                         F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

                           a = F / m

                              = 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

                              = 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

if you are in Birmingham AL, and you want to use your cell phone to talk to your cousin in Houston, TX, what must occur in order
lesantik [10]

Answer:

For communication to be communicated between you and your cousin who is in Houston,Texas, when a call is made by you, a request is made to the specific phone, and the telephone tower will get the request from the mobile phone. Then a signal is sent via a transmitter underground, by this the satellite communicates with the local receiver in Houston, that is linked to the local tower over there, the tower would request for your cousin's number and connects the two of you, once a link is set.

Explanation:

From the example stated, what is required for such for a far distance, is a communication satellite link.

When a call is made by you, the a connection request is sent to the specified phone.The telephone tower receives the request from The mobile phone. The local tower(Birmingham,Al) is linked to a ground transmitter by the means of a Fiber optical cable.

A signal is sent to satellite via the ground transmitter.The satellite then set's off the local receiver in (Houston,Texas) which on it's end is connected to the local tower there. This tower then ask for your cousin's mobile for a call that will be incoming, a link is set, once he/she receives the call, from there a conversation can be done.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1000Kg car at a rate of 3m/s2?
ikadub [295]

According to Newton (2nd law),   Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Substitute what we know :           Force = (1,000 kg) x (3 m/s²)

Do the arithmetic:                        Force = 3,000 kg-m/s²  =  3,000 newtons
