(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

$v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s

What are all the principles of Cell Theory. Group of answer choices Cell only form from living cells All cells have chromosomes

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Cell theory is the scientific theory that states that all living things are composed of cells and that cells are the basic unit of life. The three principles of cell theory are the cell is the smallest unit of life, all cells come from preexisting cells, and cells are the basic unit of function in living things.

How Is radar used to determine the speed of a car

Serga [27]

Radars are frequently used to identify distance and speed, such as how far away an object is or how fast it is moving. The radar device can then use the change in frequency to determine the speed at which the car is moving. In laser-speed guns, waves of light are used in place of radio waves.

Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = 5 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = - 3 nC and is at x = 4 cm. Charge

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Known data

q₃=5 nC

q₂=- 3 nC

d₁₃= 2 cm

d₂₃ = 4 cm

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So, the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs. F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)

Calculation of q1

F₁₃ = F₂₃
