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.)

ryzh [129]
F = m . g  = 76.5 x 9..8 = 749.7
Net Force = 3225 - 749.7 = 2475.3

F = m.a
2475.3 = 76.5 a

a  = 32.35



V = at + v1
V = at + 0
V = 32.35 x 0.15
V = 4.8525

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {d^2g}{2v^2}

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}

\displaystyle h=\frac  {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

What is the magnitude of a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?
il63 [147K]
The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?
