Answer:

6.79 m/s

Explanation:

By applying the principle of conservation of momentum.

The total momentum = MV - mv = 0 (since the squid is beginning at rest)

the mass of the squid (M) in absence of water in its cavity = (6.5 - 1.75) kg

= 4.75 kg

speed of the squid (V) = 2.5 m/s

mass of the water expelled (m) = 1.75 kg

speed of the water (v) = ???

∴

4.75 × 2.5 = 1.75 × v

$v = \dfrac{4.75 \times 2.5}{1.75 }$

v = 6.79 m/s

En la siguiente expresión matemáticas w=mg el peso w con relación a se relaciona con la masa m en una proporción

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

a) Directamente proporcional

Explanation:

El peso se puede definir como la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo o un objeto como resultado de la gravedad.

Matemáticamente, el peso de un objeto viene dado por la fórmula;

$Peso = mg$

Donde;

m es la masa del objeto.

g es la aceleración debida a la gravedad.

De la expresión matemática, podemos deducir que el valor del peso de un objeto es directamente proporcional a la masa del objeto.

Por lo tanto, un aumento en la masa de un objeto provocaría un aumento en el peso del objeto y viceversa.

A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018$

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

$KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}$

$KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2$

Here

$I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2$ meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

$KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2$

So,

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{10}{545+10}$

$\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018$

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and consider t

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

just before landing the ground

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection is u and the angle of projection is 30°.

Let T is the time of flight and R is the horizontal distance traveled. As there is no force acting in horizontal direction, so the horizontal velocity remains constant. Let the particle hits the ground with velocity v.

initial horizontal component of velocity, ux = u Cos 30

initial vertical component of velocity, uy = u Sin 30

Time of flight is given by

$T = \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}$

Final horizontal component of velocity, vx = ux = u Cos 30

Let vy is teh final vertical component of velocity.

Use first equation of motion

vy = uy - gT

$v_{y}=u_{y}- g \times \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}$

$v_{y}=u Sin 30 - 2u Sin 30$

vy = - u Sin 30

The magnitude of final velocity is given by

$v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{\left (uCos 30 \right )^{2}+\left (uSin 30 \right )^{2}}$

v = u

Thus, the velocity is same as it just reaches the ground.

marin [14]

Answer: The air is full of water, as water vapor, even if you can't see it. Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head.
