A zebra drinks from a watering hole and is ambushed by a crocodile. What's more important and why: the zebra having a high maxim

um speed or a high acceleration?

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.

An insect 5.00 mm tall is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a thin planoconvex lens. The left surface of this lens is flat, the righ
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

a) i = -9.63 cm ,    h ’= .0.24075 cm   erect

b)  i = 259.74 cm ,

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by finding the focal length of the lens

               1 / f = (n-1) (1 / R₁ - 1 / R₂)

                1 / f = (1.70 -1)) 1 / ∞ - 1/13)

                1 / f = 0.0538

                 f = - 18.57 cm

Now we can use the constructor equation

             1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

             1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o

              1 / i = -1 / 18.57 -1/20

               1 / i = -0.1038 cm

               I = -9.63 cm

For the height of the

image let's use magnification

                 m = h '/ h = - i / o

                  h ’= -h i / o

                  h ’= - 0.5 (-9.63) / 20

                  h ’= .0.24075 cm

b) we invert the lens

The focal length is

             1 / f = (1.70 -1) (1/13 - 1 / int)

              1 / f = 0.0538

             f = 18.57 cm

             1 / i = 1 / f -1 / o

             1 / I = 1 / 18.57 - 1/20

             1 / I = 3.85 10-3

             i = 259.74 cm

     

            h ’= - 0.5 259.74 / 20

             h ’= 6.4935 cm

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.
Neko [114]
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1}  T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289}  =42.21 psi

An automobile engine delivers 55.0 hp. How much time will it take for the engine to do 6.22 × 105 J of work? One horsepower is e
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s

A particle with mass 1.81×10−3 kg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 C has, at a given instant, a velocity v⃗ =(3.00×104m/s)j^. What are
slava [35]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m = 1.81\times10^{-3}\ kg

Velocity v = (3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j

Charge q = 1.22\times10^{-8}\ C

Magnetic field B= (1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})\ T

We need to calculate the acceleration of the particle

Formula of the acceleration is defined as

F = ma=q(v\times B)

a =\dfrac{q(v\times B)}{m}

We need to calculate the value of v\times B

v\times B=(3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j\times(1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})

v\times B=4.89\times10^{4}

Now, put the all values into the acceleration 's formula

a =\dfrac{1.22\times10^{-8}\times(-4.89\times10^{4}\hat{k})}{1.81\times10^{-3}}

a= -0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

Hence, The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2
