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

the equation of motion is given for a particle when s is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the acceleration after 4.5 seconds
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

The equation of motion is given for a particle, where s is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the acceleration after 4.5 seconds.

s= sin2(pi)t

Acceleration = d²S/dt²

dS/dt = 2πcos2πt

d²S/dt² = -4π²sin2πt

A(t) = -4π²sin2πt

Next is to find acceleration after 4.5 seconds

A(4.5) = -4π²sin2π(4.5)

A(4.5) = -4π²sin9π

A(4.5) = -4π²sin1620

A(4.5) = -4π²(0)

A(4.5) = 0m/s²

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2

20. Using the picture, how many neutrons does lithium have?
Igoryamba

Answer:

No. of Neutrons = 3

Explanation:

The atomic number of Lithium is given as 3 in the symbol while the mass number is given as 5.941 which is approximately equal to 6.

Mass Number = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons = 6

Atomic Number = Number of Electrons = No. of Protons = 3

Therefore,

Mass Number - Atomic Number = (No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons) - No. of Protons

Mass Number - Atomic Number = No. of Neutrons

No. of Neutrons = 6 - 3

<u>No. of Neutrons = 3 </u>

A 45.0 kg skier testing a new competitive ski wax drops off a ledge, goes into a crouch and goes straight down a slope of 10.0◦
Neko [114]

Answer:

v = 21.03 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of skier = 45 kg        

the slope of the snow = 10.0◦      

coefficient of friction = 0.114  

distance traveled = 300 m      

speed = ?              

Acceleration = g sin θ - µ g Cos θ        

= 9.8 × Sin (10°) - 0.10 × 9.8 × Cos(10°)        

= 0.737 m/s²      

using equation of motion        

v² = u² + 2 a s        

v² = 0 + 2 × 0.737 × 300            

v = 21.03 m/s                  

Speed of skier's after travelling 300 m speed is  equal to 21.03 m/s
