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

Which of the following is not a component of a normal experiment?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

D. Validity group

Explanation:

A validity group is not necessarily a component of a normal experiment.

A normal experiment is made up of the dependent variables, independent variables, and most times the control group.

  • The dependent variable is one that relies on the outcome of the effect produced from the experimental design
  • The independent variable is the one that causes a desired effect under the study.
  • The control group is a group that does not receive any treatment nor attenuation of the conditions.

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: The correct option is A ( horizontally towards the east)

Explanation:

Magnetic field is a region around a magnet or a current- carrying conductor, where a magnetic force is experienced. The magnetic effect of electric current was first discovered in the early 1820 by Oersted. Using a wire that had current flowing through it and a pivoted magnetic needle, he discovered that the direction of deflection depended on the direction of the current and whether the wire was above or below the needle.

From the way the needle turns when current when current carrying wire is held parallel to it, he therefore concluded that:

--> a current has magnetic field all round it,

--> the magnetic field is in a direction perpendicular to the current.

The above discovery was now modified in Fleming's left hand rule which states that when conductor carrying current is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force perpendicular to both the field and the flow of current.

Therefore from the question, a vertical wire carrying current in DOWNWARD direction is placed in a HORIZONTAL magnetic field directed to the NORTH. The direction of the force on the wire is to the EAST.
