This problem, a squid at rest suddenly sees a predator coming toward it and needs to escape. Assume the following:______.

Physics

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

6)An electric field of 6 N/C points in the positive X direction. What is the electric flux through a surface that is 4 m2, if it
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Flux is 21 Nm^2/C.

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 6 N/C along X axis

Electric filed vector, E = 6 i N/C

Area, A = 4 square meter

Area vector

\overrightarrow{A} = 4 (cos30 \widehat{i} + sin 30 \widehat{j})\\\\\overrightarrow{A} = 3.5 \widehat{i} + 2 \widehat{j}\\

The flux is given by

\phi= \overrightarrow{E}.\overrightarrow{A}\\\\\phi = 6 \widehat{i} .  \left (3.5 \widehat{i} + 2 \widehat{j}  \right )\\\\\phi = 21 Nm^2/C

What is the work required for a penguin to push a box 2 meters with a force of 8 newtons?
choli [55]

Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

Work = Force \times displacement

here we know that

Force = 8 N

displacement = 2 m

Now work done is given as

W = 8\times 2

W = 16 J

so it will do 16 J work to move the box

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec       Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min    energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min

Identify the labeled parts in the figure.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I. a, c, f and h

II. e

III. b, d, g and i

IV. i

Explanation:

I. Chemical symbols are simple abbreviations used to represent various elements or compound. They consist entire of alphabet.

For the diagram given above, the labelled parts which represent chemical symbol are: a, c, f and h

II. Coefficients are numbers written before the chemical symbol of elements or compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent Coefficient is: e

III. Number of atoms of element present in a compound is simply obtained by taking note of the numbers written as subscript in the chemical formula of the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which represent the number of atoms of the element are: b, d, g and i

IV. When no number is written as subscript in the formula of the element in the compound, it means the element has just 1 atom in the compound.

For the diagram given above, the labelled part which indicates that only 1 atom of the element is present is: i
