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

An astronaut in space pushes a piece of equipment to get it into the correct position. What does Newton's third law of motion te
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: C and D

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

The equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

Explanation: According to Newton's first law of motion which state that; A body at rest will continue to be at rest, or in linear motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless an external force act on it.

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

immediately the astronaut apply force to the object by pushing in, Newton's first law will be manifested in which the equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids.  <em>(C)  </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s

This model shows an example of a fog bank formation. This can happen in the Great Lakes area as warm summer air moves across the
Vadim26 [7]

Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.

<h3>How Fog banks formed?</h3>

Fog banks form at sea where cool air moves quickly over the surface of the ocean that is warm. The cool incoming air lowers the temperature of the air just above the water surface and water vapor condenses into fog.

So we can conclude that Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.
