Certain mushrooms launch their spores by a catapult mechanism. As water condenses from the air onto a spore that is attached to

the mushroom, a drop grows on one side of the spore and a film grows on the other side. The spore is bent over by the drop's weight, but when the film reaches the drop, the drop's water suddenly spreads into the film and the spore springs upward so rapidly that it is slung off into the air. Typically, the spore reaches a speed of 1.60 m/s in a 5.30 μm launch; its speed is then reduced to zero in 1.30 mm by the air. Using that data and assuming constant accelerations, find the acceleration in terms of g during
(a) the launch and
(b) the speed reduction.

Answer:

Part a)

a = 2.46 \times 10^4 g

Part b)

a = 100.37 g

Explanation:

Part a)

During the launch

speed will increase from rest to final speed of 1.60 m/s

the distance moved by it is given as

d = 5.30 \mu m

now we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

1.60^2 - 0 = 2(a)(5.30 \times 10^{-6})

so we have

a = \frac{1.60^2}{2(5.30 \times 10^{-6})}

a = 2.4151 \times 10^5 m/s^2

now in terms of g it is given as

a = 2.46 \times 10^4 g

Part b)

During  speed reduction

we know that final speed will be zero by air in distance 1.30 mm

so we have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 1.60^2 = 2(a)(1.30 \times 10^{-3})/tex][tex]a = 984.6 m/s^2

Now in terms of g it is

a = 100.37 g

What is the net force on these free body diagrams?
pentagon [3]

A

The horizontal force cancels out. The two 4Ns go in opposite directions. So they don't affect the outcome.

The Vertical force is 6N up - 2 N down = 4 N Up

Answer 4 N up

B

The horizontal and vertical forces cancel out. Each gives 3N - 3N =0

The net force is 0

C

You only have horizontal forces on this one

5N - 3N = 2N  

The answer is 2N to the right.

Prove the correctness of this equation s=vt + 1/2at ​
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The formula is dimensionally correct.

Explanation:

Given

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Required

Prove its correctness

Write out the dimension of each:

s = M^0LT^0 --- displacement

ut = M^0LT^{-1} *  T --- velocity * time

\frac{1}{2}at^2 = M^0LT^{-2} * T^2 --- acceleration * square of time

The expression becomes:

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{-1} *  T + M^0LT^{-2} * T^2

Apply law of indices

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{-1+1} + M^0LT^{-2+2}

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{0} + M^0LT^{0}

M^0LT^0 = M^0LT^{0}

Both sides of the equation are equal

If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back against you with ____ force.
viva [34]

Answer:

1. Equal.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion;

   According to this law every action have its reaction with same magnitude but in the opposite direction.

If we push a wall with some amount of force then wall pushes back with same magnitude but in the opposite direction.This law tell us about action and reaction forces which are in same magnitude but in the opposite direction.

Therefore the answer will be 1.

1. Equal.
