A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

o the earth, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) if the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take to return 6.00 km? (c) discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more

How do i calculate acceleration? pls help! thanks :)
LenKa [72]

The acceleration is 2 mph/min

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity. It is defined as follows:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the car in this problem, we have (taking North as positive direction):

u = 25 mph

v = 35 mph

t = 5 min

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{35 mph-25mph}{5min}=2 mph/min

You hold glider AA of mass 0.125 kgkg and glider BB of mass 0.375 kgkg at rest on an air track with a compressed spring of negli
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity of glider B is 0.2m/s and the direction is the negative direction  

Explanation:

Inelastic Collision

Given data

mass of glider A m1= 0.125kg

initial velocity u1=0

final velocity v1= 0.600 m/s

mass of glider B m2= 0.375kg

initial velocity u2=0

final velocity v2=?

We know that the expression for the conservation of momentum is given as

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

since u1=u2=u=0m/s

u(m1+m2)=m1v1+m2v2

substituting we have

0(0.125+0.0375)=0.125*0.6+0.375*v2

0=0.075+0.375v2

0.375v2=-0.075

v2=-0.075/0.375

v2=-0.2m/s

 The magnitude of the velocity of glider B is 0.2m/s and the direction is the negative direction
