A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind.

1 answer:

4 0

a)If it takes the bird 18.0 minutes to fly 6 km away from the earth, the wind's speed will be 4 m/s.

b) The bird would need 7 minutes and 42 seconds to fly back 6 kilometers if he turned around and flew with the wind.

c)Compared to the 133.33 seconds it would take without the wind, the overall round-trip time is affected by the wind.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

A seagull flies at a velocity, $\rm v_{SA} = 9 \ m/sec$

The time the bird takes,t=18.0 min

The distance traveled relative to the earth = 6.00 km

The seagull's relative velocity with reference to the ground as;

$\rm v_{sg} = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{(20 min) \times \frac{60 s }{1 \ min}} \\\\ v_{sg}= 5.00 \ m/sec$

Air velocity with reference to the ground is;

$\rm v_{AG}= v_{SG}-v_{SA} \\\\ v_{AG} = 5.00 \ m/sec - 9.00 \ m/sec \\\\ v_{AG} = -4.00 \ m/sec$

If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, The time will he take to return 6.00 km is;

$\rm v_{SG}=v_{SA}+v_{AG} \\\\ v_{SG}=-900 \ m/sec +(-4.00 \ m/sec) \\\\ v_{SG}= -13.00 \ m/sec$

The time the bird takes;

$\rm t = \frac{x_{SG}}{v_{SG}} \\\\ t = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{13.00 \ m/sec } \\\\ t = 462 m/sec \\\\ t = 7 \ min \ and \ 42 \ sec$

c)\

The total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind. is;

$\rm t = 20 \ min( \frac{60 \ sec }{1 \ min} )+ 462 \ sec \\\\ t = 1200 \ sec +6 462 \ ec \\\\ t= 1662 \ sec$

The time for the round trip is;

$\rm t = \frac{12 \times 10^ 3 }{ 9 \ m/sec } \\\\ t = 1333.33 \ sec$

Hence the wind's speed, the time bird would need to fly back the total round-trip time will be 4 m/s, 7 minutes and 42 seconds and 1333.33 sec.

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.

Ksju [112]

<span>haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now.
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed]
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!</span>

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 52.5-g piton from a height of 325 meters, what would its speed be just before striking th

alex41 [277]

Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH
V^2 = 2GH
V = âš2GH
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)
V = âš 6370
V = 79.81 m/s

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho

emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>

Hope it helps!

When you are sitting a few feet from a fire, your skin feels warm. What forms of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from

algol [13]

<span>In the question,' when you are sitting a few feet from the fire, your skin feels warmed. What form of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from the fire to your skin, the correct option is A, that is, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is defined as the exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The rate at which the heat is transfer depends on the temprature of the system and the properties of the intervening medium through which the heat is been transfered. There are three basic modes of heat transfer, these are: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is defined as the transfer of heat between two bodies through physical contact. When two bodies which have different temprature come in contact, there will be a transfer of heat energy between them until the two of them have the same temprature. Conduction usually occurs in solids and liquids; it occurs in gases also but it is extremely slow. Convection is the process by which heat is transfer in fluids, that is, liquids and gases. This is how convection operates: when a fluid is heated, it expands and it becomes lighter, this makes it to rise upward and move to the cooler part of the container, as it rises, it will be replaced by the unheated surrounding particles. This cycle continues until heat is evenly distributed all through the fluid. There are two types of convection: natural and forced convection. The heating of the earth surface by the sun ray is an example of natural convection while the air conditioner we use at home operates by mean of forced convection. Both conduction and convection require matter for heat transfer. Radiation is the transfer of heat from one place to another through electromagnetic waves. The hot body transfer heat by emitting electromagnetic waves. The properties of the electromagnetic waves depend on the temperature of the body. The higher the temperature the more intense the rate of emission of radiation. Radiation can occur in all objects and does not require matter for heat transfer. The heat of the sun reaches the earth surface by means of radiation. In the question given, as the air surrounding the fire were heated they rise and were replaced by the unheated air particles. The continuation of this cycle makes the heat energy to be transferred to the objects around. Thus, the heat from the fire was transferred via convection and radiation. </span>

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

434 Hz

Explanation:

According to the Doppler effect, when a source of a wave is moving towards an observer at rest, then the observer will observe an apparent frequency which is higher than the original frequency of the source.

In this situation, Tina is driving towards Rita. Tina is the source of the sound wave (the horn), while RIta is the observer. Since the original frequency of the sound is 400 Hz, Rita will hear a sound with a frequency higher than this value.

The only choice which is higher than 400 Hz is 434 Hz, so this is the frequency that Rita will hear.
