Peregrine falcons are known for their maneuvering ability. In a tight circular turn, a falcon can attain a centripetal accelerat

ion 1.5 times the free-fall acceleration. What is the radius of the turn if the falcon is flying at 17 m/s ?

Answer:

19.7 m

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of the falcon is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

a is the acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

In this problem, we have:

a=1.5 g = 1.5(9.8)=14.7 m/s^2 is the acceleration

v = 17 m/s is the speed

Solving for r, we find the radius of the turn:

r=\frac{v^2}{a}=\frac{17^2}{14.7}=19.7 m

How long does it take for 4 coulombs of charge to pass through a cross
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Time (T) = ?

Charge (Q) = 4 coulombs

current (I) = 2 Amps

Since charge depends on the amount of current flowing through the wire in a given time, hence

Charge = Current x Time

Q = IT

4 coulombs = 2 Amps x Time

Time = 4 coulombs / 2 Amps

Time = 2 seconds

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for the current to flow through the wire

A hot air balloon is on the ground, 200 feet from an observer. The pilot decides to ascend at 100 ft/min. How fast is the angle
liq [111]

Answer:

0.0031792338 rad/s

Explanation:

\theta = Angle of elevation

y = Height of balloon

Using trigonometry

tan\theta=y\dfrac{y}{200}\\\Rightarrow y=200tan\theta

Differentiating with respect to t we get

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}200tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dt}=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 100=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{100}{200sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}cos^2\theta

Now, with the base at 200 ft and height at 2500 ft

The hypotenuse is

h=\sqrt{200^2+2500^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2507.98\ ft

Now y = 2500 ft

cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{h}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{2507.98}=0.07974

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.07974^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.0031792338\ rad/s

The angle is changing at 0.0031792338 rad/s
