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

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

C. Tension

Explanation:

The tension in the cord occurs because of the muscle power of Daryl, who lifts the brick. While doing so, Daryl needs to overcome the gravitational pull on the brick.

EXTRA:

If the brick was much heavier, than Daryl's muscles would not be able to overcome the the gravitational pull on that brick, and then the much heavier brick would remain stationary on the ground, despite the efforts made by Daryl.

How does the meaning of the word isometric relate to determining if an isometric transformation occurred?.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

In an isometric transformation, the shape does not change size.

<h3>What is isometric transformation?</h3>

A shape-preserving transformation (movement) in the plane or in space is called an isometric transformation (or isometry). The isometric transformations include translation, rotation, and combinations thereof, such as the glide, which combines a translation with a reflection.

A stiff transformation called an isometry keeps perimeter and area constant while preserving length and angle measurements.

As a result, while dilations are not isometric since the image and preimage are comparable figures rather than congruent figures, translations, reflections, and rotations are.

You are given a copper bar of dimensions 3 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm and asked to attach leads to it in order to make a resistor. (a) If
dem82 [27]

Answer:

A) If you want to achieve the SMALLEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure b) 5 cm by 8 cm.

B) If you want to achieve the LARGEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measure a) 3 cm × 5 cm

Explanation:

Resistivity is directly proportional to lenght and inversely properly to cross sectional area.

For the first case, 5 cm by 8 cm gives the largest area and leave 3 cm as the lenght. The resistivity of the metal will be smallest in these dimensions.

For the second case, 3 cm by 5 cm gives the smallest area, leaving 8 cm as the lenght. This is the maximum arrangement that can give the largest resistance possible.
