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

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year

help me pass the test please there is a couple of questions in my profile to answer i am leaving this one for you to help ​
kompoz [17]

Answer:

0.5 m/s².

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

Time (t) = 20 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

a = (v – u) / t

Where:

a is the acceleration.

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity.

t is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

Time (t) = 20 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (10 – 0) / 20

a = 10/20

a = 0.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².

A 650 kg steel beam is being pulled up by a crane with a force of 7020 N. What is the upwards acceleration of the beam?
zimovet [89]

Answer: 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

n= w+ma

n= Mg+Ma

7020 = (650)(9.8)+650a

7020 = 6370+ 650a

650=650a

A= 1 m/s^2

A gun is fired on a day when the speed of sound is 335 m/s and an echo is heard 0.75 seconds later. How far away is the object t
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

v= 335 m/s

2∆t= 0.75 s

∆x= v.∆t → ∆x= 335×½×0.75 = 125.625 m
