In a vertical dive, a peregrine falcon can accelerate at 0.6 times the free-fall acceleration g (that is, at 0.6 g ) in reaching

a speed of about 108 m / s. If a falcon pulls out of a dive into a circular arc at this speed and can sustain a radial acceleration of 0.6 g , what is the radius R of the turn?

The radius R of the turn is 1.984 km.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the falcon is experiencing a centripetal motion, the acceleration exhibited by the falcon will be centripetal acceleration. The formula for centripetal acceleration is

                 a=\frac{v^{2} }{R}

Here a is the acceleration for centripetal motion, v is the velocity and R is the radius of the circular path.

As the centripetal acceleration is given as 0.6 g, the velocity is given as 108 m/s, then the radius of the path can be determined as

       0.6 \times 9.8=\frac{(108)^{2}}{R}

      R=\frac{(108)^{2}}{0.6 \times 9.8}=\frac{11664}{5.88}=1983.67\ \mathrm{m}

So, the radius of the turn is 1.984 km.

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

   

   Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

 Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

    Volume  = length x width x height

   Volume  = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm  = 100cm³  

Therefore;

         Density  = \frac{600}{100}    = 6g/cm³

10. 1. Why is Newton's law of gravitation called universal law ?​
Eduardwww [97]

Newtons law of gravitation is called the universal law of gravitation because it is applicable for all masses at all distances, independent of the medium.
