A big red fish with a mass of 20 kg swims with a velocity of 2 m/s toward a small, stationary green fish which has a mass of 10

kg. The big red fish opens its mouth and swallows the small green fish. What will the big red fish's velocity be immediately after swallowing its meal?​

Answer:

1.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

M1  = 20kg

V1  = 2m/s

V2 = 0m/s

M2  = 10kg

Unknown:

V  = ?

Solution:

As with all systems, the momentum must be conserved and it implies that the starting and ending momentum be the same.

  M1 V1  +  M2 V2  = V (M1 + M2)

M1 is the mass of the big red fish

V1 is the velocity of the big red fish

V2 is the velocity of the green fish

M2 is the mass of the green fish

V is the velocity after swallowing

           (20 x 2) + (10 x 0)  = V (20 + 10)

                      40  = 30V

                      V  = 1.33m/s

Action-reaction forces are not balanced forces because of what?
lara [203]

Oh but they are !

Newton's 3rd law of motion says that for every action, the <em><u>re</u></em>action is
equal and opposite.  That's as balanced as you can get.

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

newton's 2nd  law

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
