The african bombardier beetle stenaptinus insignis can emit a jet of defensive spray from the moveable tip of its abdomen. the beetle's body has reservoirs of two different chemicals; when the beetle is disturbed, these chemicals are combined in a reaction chamber, producing a compound that is warmed from 20°c to 100°c by the heat of reaction. the high pressure produced allows the compound to be sprayed out at speeds up to 19m/s (68km/h), scaring away predators of all kinds. (the beetle shown in the figure is tethered to a wire fastened to its back by wax. it is responding to having its left foreleg pinched by forceps. the beetle is 2cm long.)calculate the heat of reaction of the two chemicals. assume that the specific heat capacity of the two chemicals and the spray is the same as that of water, 4.19×10³ j/kg⋅k, and that the initial temperature of the chemicals is 20°c.

The car hoist allows the car to be driven onto the platform, after which the rear wheels are raised. if the loading from both rear wheels is 1380 lb, determine the force in the hydraulic cylinder ab. neglect the weight of the platform itself. member bcd is a right-angle bell crank pinned to the ramp at c. the force is positive if in tension, negative if in compression.

You are driving directly behind a pickup truck, going at the same speed as the truck. a crate falls from the bed of the truck to the road. (a) will your car hit the crate before the crate hits the road if you neither brake nor swerve? (b) during the fall, is the horizontal speed of the crate more than, less than, or the same as that of the truck?

Estimate the schwarzschild radius (in kilometers) for a mini-black hole formed when a superadvanced civilization decides to punish you (unfairly) by squeezing you until you become so small that you disappear inside your own event horizon. (assume that the your weight is 50 kg)

Awater balloon launcher uses an elastic band with a spring constant of 115 n/m to use thee launcher you stretch thee band back with a balloon n it the water balloons have a mass of 1.3 kg a) if you stretch the band by 0.8 m, what elastic force will the band exert? b) with the band stretched 0.8 m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring? c) if you release the band, it pushes forward. what is the kinetic energy of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band? d) what is the speed of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band?
