Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th

e spores are launched is quite lightweight. If it takes a certain amount of energy to eject each spore, explain how launching the spores in pairs provides for the greatest initial launch speed for each spore.

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

The colored lines in the figure represent paths taken by different people walking around in a city. Assume that each city block
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 592.37m

Explanation:

Person D is the blue line.

The total displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position, if the initial position is (0,0) we have that he first goes down two blocks, then right 6 blocks. then up 4 blocks, then left 1 block.

Now i will considerate that the positive x-axis is to the right and the positive y-axis is upwards.

Then the new position will be, if B is a block:

P =(6*B - 1*B, -2*B + 4*B) = (5*B, 2*B)

And we know that B = 110m

P = (550m, 220m)

Now, then the displacement will be equal to the magnitude of our vector, (because the difference between P and the initial position is equal to P, as the initial position is (0,0))  this is:

P = √(550^2 + 220^2) = 592.37m

Liam throws a water balloon horizontally at 8.2 m/s out of a window 18 m from the ground.
Alecsey [184]

Time taken by the water balloon to reach the bottom will be given as

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

here we know that

h = 18 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now by the above formula

18 = \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2

18 = 4.9 t^2

t = 1.92 s

now in the same time interval we can say the distance moved by it will be

d = v_x * t

d = 8.2 * 1.92 = 15.7 m

so it will fall at a distance 15.7 m from its initial position

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
Zanzabum

(a)  3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

p=\frac{I}{c}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

I=1000 W/m^2

and substituting c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s, we find the radiation pressure

p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa

(b) 4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2

BRAINLIEST PLS HELP
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

It means that out of 20 students, 3 males and 1 female were digital screen addicts because they were getting dangerous amount of blue light. Thus couldn't feel calming sensation that a human feels while seeing blue light. The rest students were getting balanced blue light. So they were getting relaxed feeling while being exposed to blue light.
