How were lion fish introduced to the areas around Florida

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<h3>I think this will answer your question. This is information is not mine and this rightfully belongs to <u>columbia.edu.</u></h3><h3><u /></h3>

This brightly colored fish is native to the Indo-Pacific from Australia north to southern Japan and south to Micronesia. The lionfish is usually found in coral reefs of tropical waters, hovering in caves or near crevices. Native regions as well as Savannah, Georgia; Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Florida; Long Island, New York; Bermuda and possibly Charleston. In southern Florida and off the coast of the Carolinas in early to mid 1990s.

An astronaut exploring a distant solar system lands on an unnamed planet with a radius of 2530 km. When the astronaut jumps upwa

Natali [406]

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will

VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

$v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}$

since $v_y = 0$ at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

$t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}$

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium wi

lukranit [14]

Answer:

a. volume of gas: (decreases)

b. temperature of gas: (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.
