Some people say you can get HIV from insect bites. True or false? Why?

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is False because HIV spreads through contact between HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids and broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner enters the HIV-negative partner's bloodstream.

A spring has a spring constant of 53N/m. How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring in the spring when it is comp

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:11686.5 joules

Explanation:

elastic constant(k)=53N/m

extension(e)=21m

Elastic potential energy=(k x e^2)/2

Elastic potential energy=(53 x (21)^2)/2

Elastic potential energy=(53x21x21)/2

Elastic potential energy=23373/2

Elastic potential energy=11686.5

Elastic potential energy is 11686.5 joules

A 75-kilogram hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude of the average

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(3) 690 N

Explanation:

Force: This is the product of mass and acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of force is Newton(N).

The formula for force is given as,

F = ma..................... Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

Also,

a = (v-u)/t................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (bring to stop), t = 0.65 s.

Substitute into equation 2

a = (0-6)/0.65

a = -6/0.65

a = -9.23 m/s²

Also given: m = 75 kg

Substitute again into equation 1

F = 75(-9.23)

F = -692.25 N

The negative sign tells that the force oppose the motion of the player

F ≈ 690 N

Hence the right option is (3) 690 N

An object with a mass of 5kg accelerates at 2m/s2. How much force in Newtons(N) is needed to cause this to happen??

Reptile [31]

Answer: The formula of Newtons second law of motion is F=MA so therefore it would be written like this Force = Mass X Acceleration

F = 5 x 2

F = 10 N

What is the magnitude of the impulse that would cause the 2-kg box to accelerate from 2 m/s to 5 m/s?

Law Incorporation [45]

6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.

Answer:

The magnitude of impulse is 6 J.

Explanation:

Impulse is the force acting on any object for a given time interval. As force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Then the product of force with time interval will be equal to the product of mass with change in velocity.

F = m a = $\frac{m(v-u)}{(t_{2}-t_{1} )}$

FΔt = mΔv

Impulse = FΔt=mΔv

As the mass of box is given as 2 kg and the velocity changes from 2 m/s to 5 m/s, then the impulse = 2 × (5-2) = 2 ×3 =6 J

So 6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.
