When red-headed woodpeckers (melanerpes erythrocephalus) strike the trunk of a tree, they can experience an acceleration ten tim

es greater than the acceleration of gravity, or about 98.1 m/s2. what is this acceleration in in/s2?\?

98.1 m/s² × (1 in)/(0.0254 m) ≈ 3862 in/s²

What is 1/12+7/9 hj

Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} \\ \\ = \frac{1 \times 3}{12 \times 3} + \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} \\ \\ = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{3 + 28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{31}{36} \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: \frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{31}{36} }} \\$

A weightlifter raises a 50kg weight to a height of 2m in 2 minutes. What was the power spent by the weightlifter?

belka [17]

Answer:

117.72kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 50kg

height x = 2m

time taken = 2 minutes= 129 seconds

let us find the work done

WD= force * distance

WD= mgx

WD= 50*9.81*2

WD= 981 Joules

Let us find the power

Power= work * time

Power= 981*120

Power= 117720

Power= 117.72 kW

Hence the power spent is 117.72kW

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a

Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

$J=F.\Delta t$

$J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s$

$J=2\times 10^7\ N-s$

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

$J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i$

$J=p_f-p_i$

$p_f=J+p_i$

$p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s$

$p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s$

(c) For new velocity,

$v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}$

$v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}$

$v_f=1549.46\ m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Bella makes the 2.5m distance to her food bowl in 9.1 seconds. What is her average velocity?

e-lub [12.9K]

Distance=2.5m
Time=9.1s

Average Velocity=Total Distance/Total Time

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{2.5}{9.1}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.3m/s$
