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.)

zepelin [54]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): TYPE OF SOIL

Dependent variable (DV): HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES

Control group: None in this experiment

Constant: SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK)

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter in order to effect a measurable outcome. In this case, the independent variable is the TYPE OF SOIL used.

Dependent variable is the measurable variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES of each rose.

Constants or control variable is the variable that is kept unchanged or constant for all groups throughout the experiment. In this experiment, the constants are SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK).

Control group are the groups that does not receive the experimental treatment. In this case, all the groups received the experimental treatment (different soil types). Hence, there is no control

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 5.0 rev/s in 8.0 s. At thi
tatiyna

Answer:

50 revolutions

Explanation:

Data provided:

case I: From rest to top spin

The initial angular speed of the washer, ωi = 0 rev /s

Final angular speed of the washer ωf = 5 rev /s

Time taken, t₁ = 8 s

now,  

The angular displacement or the number of revolutions taken (θ₁) is calculated as:

  θ₁ = ωi t₁ + (1/2)α₁t₁²

where,

α is the angular acceleration

The angular acceleration can be calculated as:

  ωf - ωi = α₁t₁

on substituting the values, we get

8α₁ = 5 - 0

or

α₁ = 0.625 rev/s²

substituting the values in the equation for the number of revolutions, we get

θ₁ = 0 + (1/2) (0.625)(8)²

or

θ₁ = 20 revolutions

also,  

For the case II: From top spin to rest

we have

The initial angular speed, ωi = 5 rev /s

and the final angular speed, ωf = 0 rev /s

Total time taken, t₂ = 12 s

Now, angular acceleration for this case

  ωf - ωi = α₂t₂

on substituting the values, we have

  12α₂ = 0 - 5

α₂ = - 0.4166 rev/s²

Therefore, the number of revolutions ( i.e angular displacement  )

θ₂ = ωit₂ + (1/2)α₂t₂²

on substituting the values, we have

θ₂ = 5 × 12 + (1/2)(-0.4166)(12)²

or

θ₂ = 30 rev

Hence,

the total number of revolutions made by the washer during the 20s is  

θ = θ₁ + θ₂

or

θ = 20 rev + 30 rev

or

θ = 50 revolutions
