A typical flying insect applies an average force equal to twice its weight during each downward stroke while hovering. Take the

mass of the insect to be 7.0g , and assume the wings move an average downward distance of 1.5cm during each stroke. Assuming 117 downward strokes per second, estimate the average power output of the insect.

Answer:

Average power output of insect is 2.42W

Explanation:

Workdone by constant force during displacement is given by:

W= F× d cos theta

Where theta is angle between F and d.

Power output due to the force over the interval time is given by:

P= Workdone/change in time

Ginen:

Mass of insect,m= 7.0g= 7/1000 = 0.07kg

Downward force applied by insect,F= 2mg

Distance moved by the wing each stroke=1.5cm=1.5/100= 0.015m

W= F× d cos theta

Where theta=0° since force is in the same direction as the displacement.

W= 2mg×d

W= 2× 0.07 × 9.8 × 0.015

W= 0.02058J

Power output = W/ change in time

Since wings make 117strokes each second time interval is 1/117 = 8.5×10^-3seconds

Power= 0.02058/(8.5×10^-3)

Power= 2.42W

A 6.8 KG object moves with a velocity of 8 M/S what’s it's kinetic energy?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½mv² = ½(6.8)8² = 217.6 J

round as appropriate because that result is way too much precision for the inputs provided. Arguably should be 200 J based on the single significant digit of the velocity.

table 4.interaction between two permanent bar magnets what i did to the pair of magnets to cause interaction and observed the ef
Leni [432]

A magnet is a substance which attracts or repels another substance. In a magnet, the atoms are aligned in a particular direction in domains. A magnet has two poles: North pole and South pole. The domains are oppositely aligned in unlike poles. Like poles repel each other where as unlike poles attract each other. Hence, when we bring like poles closer, repulsion would be experienced. In case of unlike poles, they would stick together.

A 72.0 kg stuntman jumps from a moving car to a 2.50 kg skateboard at rest. If the velocity of the car is 15.0 m/s to the east w
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B 14.5 m/s to the east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, if the system is isolated, the total momentum of the system must be conserved.

Here the total momentum before the stuntman reaches the skateboard is:

p_i = Mv

where

M = 72.0 kg is the mass of the stuntman

v = 15.0 m/s is his initial velocity (to the east)

The total momentum after the stuntmen reaches the skateboard is:

p_f = (M+m)v'

where

m = 2.50 kg is the mass of the skateboard

v' is the final velocity of the stuntman and the skateboard

Since momentum must be conserved, we have

p_i = p_f\\Mv=(M+m)v'

And solvign for v',

v'=\frac{Mv}{M+m}=\frac{(72.0)(15.0)}{(72.0+2.50)}=14.5 m/s

And since the sign is the same as v, the direction is the same (to the east).

The percentage of radioactive atoms that decay during one (1) half-life ____________.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

is the same

Explanation:

Half life is define as the time it take for fifty percentage of a radioactive material to disintegrate. After the first half-life passes, half (fifty percentage) of the remaining radioactive material will disintegrate in the next half-life. Then, half of that amount in turn disintegrate in the following half-life and the halving continues.
