5. Susan exerted 400 newtons of force while pushing on a huge boulder. The boulder moved 0 meters. Calculate work.
Stells [14]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance in the direction of force.

The formula is ; Work = Force * Distance

Given that :

Force = 400 N

Distance = 0 meters

Work = 400 * 0 = 0 J

No work was done because the boulder did not move.

A major artery with a cross sectional area of 1.00cm^2 branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross sectional a
dybincka [34]

Here we can say that rate of flow must be constant

so here we will have

A_1v_1 = 18 A_2v_2

now we know that

A_1 = 1 cm^2

A_2 = 0.4 cm^2

now from above equation

1 cm^2 v_1 = 18(0.400 cm^2)v_2

\frac{v_2}{v_1} = \frac{1}{18\times 0.4}

\frac{v_2}{v_1} = 0.14

so velocity will reduce by factor 0.14

Yuliya22 [10]
<h2>Mercury, Neptune, and Jupiter </h2>

Explanation:

  • Mercury has the largest semimajor axis that is 5.791 x 107 in km.
  • Mercury is the planet with the fastest speed, which has an average orbital speed around the sun for about 47.87 km/s.
  • Neptune has the longest orbital speed around the sun of any planet in the Solar System which is equivalent to 164.8 years (or 60,182 Earth days)
  • Jupiter has the largest eccentricity.

Hence, the answer is Mercury, Neptune, and Jupiter respectively.
