how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south? (note that even on cloudy nights, many

birds can navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)

The direction of the bird's velocity can be adjusted so that the wind and the resulting bird velocity will both be in the southerly direction.

(a) The bird should fly at an angle of roughly South 23.58° East if it wants to move directly southward in relation to the earth.

(b) The bird would need around 5.46 hours to fly 500 kilometers from North to South.

The components of the velocity are v(x) and v(y).

The magnitude of the velocity of the bird is 100 km/h

The orientation of the bird corresponds to that of North and South.

The magnitude of the velocity of the wind is 40 km/h

East-west is the direction of the wind.

(a) The component vector of the two velocities are;

The velocity of the bird, v(y) = -100(j)

The velocity of wind, v(x) = 40(i)

If the bird has a component of velocity to accommodate the wind velocity, the direction of its movement will be southerly.

Let θ be the angle of the direction of the bird relative to the negative x-axis, therefore:

-100(j) × cos(θ) = -40·i

θ = cos⁻¹(40/100)

θ ≈ 66.42° in the third quadrat, given that both the y, and x, values are negative.

In the South-West direction, the angle is:

90 - 66.42 ≈ 23.58°

Therefore, to fly directly southward relative to the ground, the bird should fly in the direction of south 23.58° east.

(b) The following is given as the component of the bird's southerly velocity when traveling in the new direction:

v(s) = 100 × sin(θ)

Hence,

Southward velocity,  v(s) = 100 × sin(66.42°)

The time t it takes to travel 500 km, is given as:

d = v(s)t

500 = 100 × sin(66.42°)(t)

t = 5.46 hrs

The bird would need 5.46 hours to fly 500 kilometers from North to South.

The complete question is mentioned below:

Canada geese migrate essentially along a north–south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 40-km/h wind is blowing from west to east,

(a) at what angle relative to the north–south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?

(b) How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? (Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate by using the earth’s magnetic field to fix the north–south direction.)

Why are the meters squared in the formula to calculate acceleration?
lianna [129]

Answer:

During acceleration, you are moving across a distance over a time, but also increasing how fast we are doing it. Therefore, it means by how many meters per second the velocity changes every second

You use a pulley system to lift a car engine. You apply a force of 120n and the pulley pulls on the engine with a force of 1050n
Savatey [412]

Given,

Effort force = 120 N

Load force= 1050 N

Mechanical advantage of a pulley is given by the ratio of load force to the effort force.

M.A=\frac{Load force}{Effort force}

=\frac{1050}{120}

=8.75

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the given pulley is 8.75.

An object with a mass of m = 3.85 kg is suspended at rest between the ceiling and the floor by two thin vertical ropes.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

<h3>Tension in the upper rope</h3>

The tension in the upper rope is calculated as follows;

T(u) = T(d)+ mg

where;

  • T(u) is tension in upper rope
  • T(d) is tension in lower rope

T(u) = 12.8 N + 3.85(9.8)

T(u) = 50.53 N

Thus, the tension in the upper rope is determined as 50.53 N.

What determines how much induced current will flow through a conductor?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic flux

Explanation:

The induced current is equal to the ratio of induced emf to the resistance of the conductor.

According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
