When a rattlesnake strikes, its head accelerates from rest to a speed of 32 m/s in 0.63 seconds. Assume for simplicity that the

only moving part of the snake is its head of mass 200 g. How much (average) power does the rattlesnake need to accelerate its head that fast?

Answer:

Power, P = 162.53 Watts          

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 200 g = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the snake, u = 0

Final speed of the snake, v = 32 m/s

Time, t = 0.63 s

Power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{mv^2}{2t}

P=\dfrac{0.2\times (32)^2}{2\times 0.63}

P = 162.53 Watts

So, the power of the rattlesnake is 162.53 Watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

9.87 seconds

The time required for this system to come to rest is equal to 9.87 seconds.

We have the following data:

Mass of gear A = 675 g to kg = 0.675 kg.

Radius of gear A = 40 mm to m = 0.04 m.

Mass of gear C = 3.6 kg.

Radius of gear C = 100 mm to m = 0.1 m.

How can I calculate the time needed?

We would need to figure out the moment of inertia for gears A and C in order to compute the time needed for this system to come to rest.

Mathematically, the following formula can be used to determine the moment of inertia for a gear:

I = mr²

Where:

m is the mass.

r is the radius.

We have, For gear A:

I = mr²

I = 0.675 × 0.04²

I = 0.675 × 0.0016

I = 1.08 × 10⁻³ kg·m².

We have, For gear C:

I = mr²

I = 3.6 × 0.1²

I = 3.6 × 0.01

I = 0.036 kg·m².

The initial angular velocity of gear C would therefore be converted as follows from rotations per minute (rpm) to radians per second (rad/s):

ωc₁ = 2000 × 2π/60

ωc₁ = 4000π/60

ωc₁ = 209.44 rad/s.

Also, the initial angular velocity of gears A and B is given by:

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = rc/rA × (ωc₁)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 0.15/0.06 × (209.44)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 2.5 × (209.44)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 523.60 rad/s.

Taking the moment about A, we have:

I_A·ωA₁ + rA∫F_{AC}dt - M(f)_A·t = 0

On Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

(1.08 × 10⁻³)·(523.60) + 0.06∫F_{AC}dt - 0.15t = 0

0.15t - 0.06∫F_{AC}dt = 0.56549   ----->equation 1.

Similarly, the moment about B is given by:

0.15t - 0.06∫F_{BC}dt = 0.56549    ------>equation 2.

Note: Let x = ∫F_{BC}dt + ∫F_{AC}dt

Adding eqn. 1 & eqn. 2, we have:

0.3t - 0.06x = (0.56549) × 2

0.3t - 0.06x = 1.13098  ------>equation 3.

Taking the moment about A, we have:

Ic·ωc₁ - rC∫F_{AC}dt - rC∫F_{BC}dt - Mc(f)_A·t = 0

0.036(209.44) - 0.3t - 0.15(∫F_{BC}dt + ∫F_{AC}dt) = 0

0.3t + 0.15x = 7.5398    ------->equation 4.

Solving eqn. 3 and eqn. 4 simultaneously, we have:

x = 30.5 Ns.

Time, t = 9.87 seconds.

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves away from Earth?
AURORKA [14]
<h2>Answer: Light waves have a redshift due to the Doppler effect </h2>

The astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby galaxies showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.  

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. <u>The same happens with the stars and this phenomenom is known as the Doppler effect. </u>

This phenomenon refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.  For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red.

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2
