Answer:

4.38 km

Explanation:

Volume of oil slick, V = Area of oil slick, A × thickness of 1 molecule, d'

Since the oil slick spreads out in a circular area, it has the area of a circle.

So, V = πd²/4 × d'

d² = 4V/πd'

d = 2√(V/πd') where d = diameter of oil slick.

Since V = 3000 cm³ = 3000 × 10⁻⁶ m³ = 3 × 10⁻³ m³ and d' = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m

So, d = 2√(3 × 10⁻³ m³/(π × 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ m))

= 2√(3 × 10⁻³ m³/(6.283 × 10⁻¹⁰ m))

= 2√(0.477 × 10⁷ m²) = 2√(4.775 × 10⁶ m²)

=  2 × 2.19 × 10³ m

= 4.38 × 10³ m

= 4.38 km

Answer:

Answer:

28.025 Nm

Explanation:

Angular acceleration, α = 29.5 rad/s^2

oment of inertia, I = 0.95 kg m^2

The torque is defined as

τ = I x α

τ = 0.95 x 29.5

τ = 28.025 Nm

Thus, the torque is 28.025 Nm.

The head of a rattlesnake can accelerate at 49 m/s2 in striking a victim. If a car could do as well, how long would it take to r
Anettt [7]
<h2>Time taken is 0.459 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = 81 km/hr = 22.5 m/s    

     Time, t = ?

     Acceleration, a = 49 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      22.5 = 0 + 49 x t

                      t = 0.459 seconds

   Time taken is 0.459 seconds
