As shown in the chapter, scallops use jet propulsion to move from one place to another. Their shells make them denser than water, so they normally rest on the ocean floor. If a scallop wishes to remain stationary, hovering a fixed distance above the ocean floor, it must eject water ___________ so that the thrust force on the scallop is ____________.
A. upward, upward
B. upward, downward
C. downward, upward
D. downward, downward

They each carry a current.arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forwardYou are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force (in N) for the last 20 m for the empty test car. N (b) Find the highest speed (in m/s) reached by the car during the final section of track length…arrow_forward
