Hi! Let me help you!
a = (Vf - Vi)/t ; where distance d = [2(t)]/(4+t), t = 5secs, and Vi = 0
a = [(2t)/(4+t)]/t <---- working equation
a = {[2(5)]/9}/5 <---- cancel 5
a = 2/9 ft/s^2 <---- Answer

A block of gelatin is 120mm by 120mm by 40mm whrn unstressed. A force of 49N is applied tangentially to the upper surface causin

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The shearing stress is 10208.3333 Pa

The shearing strain is 0.25

The shear modulus is 40833.3332 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Block of gelatin of 120 mm x 120 mm by 40 mm

F = force = 49 N

Displacement = 10 mm

Questions: Find the shear modulus, Sm = ?, shearing stress, Ss = ?, shearing strain, SS = ?

The shearing stress is defined as the force applied to the block over the projected area, first, it is necessary to calculate the area:

A = 40*120 = 4800 mm² = 0.0048 m²

The shearing stress:

$Ss=\frac{F}{A} =\frac{49}{0.0048} =10208.3333Pa$

The shearing strain is defined as the tangent of the displacement that the block over its length:

$SS=tan\theta =\frac{Displacement}{L} =\frac{10}{40} =0.25$

Finally, the shear modulus is the division of the shearing stress over the shearing strain:

$Sm=\frac{10208.3333}{0.25} =40833.3332Pa$

A force of 10 N causes a spring to extend by 20 mm. Find: a) the spring constant of the spring in N/m

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

formula used K=F/∆l

∆l is the elongation of the spring

F=10N
∆l=20mm===> 0.02m
K=10N divided 0.02m= 500N/m

regrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impac

solmaris [256]

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ before the collision must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ after the collision:

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (1)

Being:

$p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}$

$p_{f}=(M+m) V$

Where:

$M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg$ the mas of the peregrine falcon

$V_{i}=45 m/s$ the initial speed of the falcon

$m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg$ is the mass of the pigeon

$U_{i}=0 m/s$ the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

$V$ the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

$MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V$ (2)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m}$ (3)

$V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg}$ (4)

$V=30 m/s$ (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (6)

Where:

$F$ is the force exerted on the pigeon

$\Delta t=0.015 s$ is the time

$\Delta p$ is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

$\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i}$ (7)

$\Delta p=mV$ (8) Since $U_{i}=0$

Substituting (8) in (6):

$F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t}$ (9)

$F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s}$ (10)

Finally:

$F=480 N$
