I'm assuming the question is what is the robin's speed relative to to the ground...

Create an equation that describes its relative motion.

rVg = rVa + aVg


Substitute values.

rVg = 12 m/s [N] + 6.8 m/s [E]


Use vector addition.

| rVg | = √ | rVa |² + | aVg |²

| rVg | = √ 144 m²/s² + 46.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = √ 19<u>0</u>.24 m²/s²

| rVg | = 1<u>3</u>.78 m/s


Find direction.

tanФ = aVg / rVa

tanФ = 6.8 m/s / 12 m/s

Ф = 29°


Therefore, the velocity of the robin relative to the ground is 14 m/s [N29°E]

A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 2.04 times as fast as kr gas. write the chemical formula of the gas.
levacccp [35]
<span>The chemical formula for the unknown gas is Ne. Since we're looking for the rate at which a gas escapes through a small hole, we're dealing with effusion. For effusion, the rate is proportional to the velocity of the gas particles. Kinetic energy E = 0.5 mv^2 Since the kinetic energy of individual gas particles is the same if their temperatures are the same, we can create the following equality: 0.5 m1(v1)^2 = 0.5 m2(v2)^2 Double each side to make it simplier. m1(v1)^2 = m2(v2)^2 Divide both sides by m1 and by (v2)^2, giving (v1)^2/(v2^2) = m2/m1 And take the square root, giving (v1)/(v2) = sqrt(m2/m1) Now let's use the value 1 and the atomic weight of Kr for v1 and m1 1/(v2) = sqrt(m2/83.798) And for v2, we'll use the value 2.04 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) Now solve for m2. 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) 1/4.1616 = m2/83.798 83.798/4.1616 = m2 20.13600538 = m2 So the atomic weight of the unknown gas should be close to 20.136. Looking at a periodic table, I find that neon has an atomic weight of 20.18 which is quite close. Additionally, since neon is a noble gas, its gas particles consist of individual atoms. So the unknown gas is neon.</span>

While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non‑identical buckets with
xenn [34]

Answer:

The bucket  located in the direction opposite of displacement of the rod for balancing will be heavier.

Explanation:

Moment of a force is directly proportional to it's distance from the point about which rotation takes place. In the given case the man increases the lever arm(distance from point of rotation of the force) to balance the moment of the lighter bucket. Thus in the direction of the increase the lighter bucket will be placed.

1. When the fission of uranium-235 is carried out, about 0.1 percent of the mass of the reactants is lost during the reaction. W
DerKrebs [107]

The correct answer to the question is that the lost mass has been converted into energy.

EXPLANATION:

From Einstein's theory, we know that energy and mass are inter convertible .

When some amount of mass is lost, same amount of energy equivalent to mass is produced.

Let us consider m is the mass lost during any reaction. Hence, the amount of energy produced will be-

                                 Energy E = mc^2                

Here, c is the velocity of light i.e c = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

As per the question, uranium-235 undergoes fission. The amount of mass defect is 0.1 %.

The mass defect is defined as the difference between mass of reactants and products. During the fission, energy is produced.

The energy produced in this reaction is nothing else than the energy equivalent to mass defect.  Approximately 199.5 Mev of energy equivalent to this mass defect is produced in this reaction.

6. Mithra is an unknown planet that has two airless moons. A and B, in circular orbits around it.
Ainat [17]

The acceleration of gravity on Moon B is D) 0.25 m/s2

Explanation:

The data listed in the problem are not clear: find them in the table attached.

The acceleration of gravity on a planet is given by the following equation:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

where:

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

Here we want to find the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Moon B, which has the following data:

M=1.5\cdot 10^{20} kg (mass)

R=2.0\cdot 10^5 m (radius)

And substituting into the equation, we find:

g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.5\cdot 10^{20})}{(2.0\cdot 10^5)^2}=0.25 m/s^2
