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

Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Appears to be the vertexes of a triangle.

AB = √(-6 - (-2))² + (3 - 4)²) = √17

AC = √(-6 - (-8))² + (3 - 3)²) = 2

BC = √(-2 - (-8))² + (4 - 3)²) = √37

4) The mass of Pluto is 1.31 x 1022 kg and its radius is 1.15 x 106 m. What is the acceleration of
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.661 m/s²

Explanation:

g = MG / r²

g = (1.31×10²² kg) (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) / (1.15×10⁶ m)²

g = 6.61×10⁻¹ m/s²

g = 0.661 m/s²

Typical Pressurized Water Reactors can produce 1100 to 1500
lozanna [386]

Answer: about 1,100,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 Joules/second

Explanation:

1 MW (megawatt) = 1,000,000.00 J/s (joules per second)

1100(1,000,000) = 1,100,000,000

1500(1,000,000) = 1,500,000,000
