Answer:

Force and Change in velocity

Explanation:

The contact time is the exact same, as they have hit eachother, rather than something.

The force is how hard they hit eachother, and due to the weight of each object, and the size, the mosquito has much less force.

The change in velocity is also unequal. While the mosquito gets squished, and is now getting thrown in the other direction, the truck is almost completely uneffected, and it's movement stays the same.

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

Converting to SI units

$10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

A 3.0kg weight W is initially at rest on incline AB, which is raised 40° above the horizontal. The effective coefficient is

lakkis [162]

(a) The acceleration of the system is determined as 1.58 m/s².

(b) The relative weight of P is pounds is determined as 0.14 lb.

<h3>Acceleration of the system</h3>

The acceleration of the system is calculated as follows;

W - T = m₂a --- (1)

T = m₁a ----(2)

μmgsinθ - m₁a = m₂a

(0.3 x 3 x 9.8 x sin40) - (0.4 + 0.2)a = 3a

5.67 - 0.6a = 3a

5.67 = 3.6a

a = 5.67/3.6

a = 1.58 m/s²

<h3> Relative Weight of P</h3>

W = ma

W = 0.4 x 1.58

W = 0.632 N = 0.14 lb

If a nucleus was as big as a nonpareil, an atom would be ____

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

small marble

Explanation:

A nonpareil are confectionery tiny ball items that are made up of starch and sugar. It is very small of the size of sugar crystal or sand grains. They were the miniature version of the comfits. They are generally opaque white but bow available in all colors.

In the context, if the nucleus is compared to the size of a nonpareil then its atom would be of the size of small size marble. An atom is bigger in size than that of nucleus as the nucleus is located inside the atoms.
