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

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E = 200 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, K = 4 N/m

initial stretching in the spring, x = 5 m

Finally, it is stretched an additional 5 m i.e. x' = 5 m        

Let E is the elastic energy in the spring after Varg stretches the spring. it is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x+x')^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (10)^2

E = 200 J

So, the elastic energy in the spring after Varg stretches the spring is 200 J. hence, this is the required solution.

Which equation can be used to calculate the normal force on an object if you know the speed of the object, the coefficient of ki
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The friction force is the weight force times the coefficient of friction. So diving by the coefficient gives you the weight force which is equivalent to the normal force.

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a.\rm -1.49\ m/s^2.

b. \rm 50.49\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .

<h2>(a):</h2>

The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3\cos(0.5\ t ))\\=3(-0.5\sin(0.5\ t.))\\=-1.5\sin(0.5\ t).

At time t = 3 seconds,

\rm a=-1.5\sin(0.5\times 3)=-1.49\ m/s^2.

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>

<h2>(b):</h2>

The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

\rm v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}.\\\therefore dr = vdt\Rightarrow \int dr=\int v\ dt.

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

\rm \int\limits^2_0 dr=\int\limits^2_0 v\ dt\\r(t=2)-r(t=0)=\int\limits^2_0 3\cos(0.5\ t)\ dt

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

\Delta r=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\ t)}{0.05} \right )\limits^2_0\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\times 2)-sin(0.5\times 0)}{0.05} \right )\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(1.0)}{0.05} \right )\\=50.49\ m.

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
