Answer : The velocity vector of the bird as a function of time 2.4\sqrt{1+t^2}

Solution :

x(t)=\alpha t\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\alpha

The x-component is, \frac{dx}{dt}=\alpha

y(t)=3.0m-\beta t^2\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-2\beta t

The y-component is, \frac{dy}{dt}=-2\beta t

Now we have to calculate the velocity vector of the bird as a function of time.

\overset{\rightarrow}V=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Now put the values of x-component and y-component in this equation, we get

\overset{\rightarrow}V=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(\alpha)^2+(-2\beta t)^2}=\sqrt{(2.4)^2+(-2\times 1.2\times t)^2}=2.4\sqrt{1+t^2}

Therefore, the velocity vector of the bird as a function of time 2.4\sqrt{1+t^2}

     The derivative of the function space as a function of time is equal to a function of speed as a function of time.

x(t)=2.4t \\  \frac{x(t)}{t}=t \\ v_{x}(t)=t \\  \\ y(t)=3-1.2\times t^2 \\  \frac{y(t)}{t}=1.2\times2t \\ v_{y}(t)=2.4t
   
     The velocity vector is given by the vector sum of the velocities of  both axes.

v_{R}^2(t)=v_{x}^2(t)+v_{y}^2(t) \\ v_{R}^2(t)=(t)^2+(2.4t)^2 \\ \boxed {v_R(t)=2.6t}

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hooke's law! F(spring)=-kx

There's no tricky square law here. The spring constant doesn't change, only x (distance stretched) changes. Therefore, if distance is halved, Force will be halved.

The speed increases, because as the angle increases (the wing slants up more steeply), the air has to go farther to get over the wing.

What is magnetic shielding?<br>​
AysviL [449]
It is basically shielding a magnetic field. This can be done with rubber or any other material that is thick. Normally small magnets already block the shield.
