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

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what
Sphinxa [80]
Let's be clear:  The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 30 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w
Vesna [10]

Answer:

\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

u_1 = Velocity of one lump = 3x+3y-3z

u_2 = Velocity of the other lump = -4x+0y-4z

m = Mass of each lump = 30\ \text{g}

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is \ \text{m/s}.

The average specific heat of the human body is 3.6 kJ/kg·°C. If the body temperature of a(n) 96-kg man rises from 37°C to 39°C d
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

691200 J

Explanation:

From specific heat capacity,

ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1

Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.

Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔQ = 3600×96×2

ΔQ = 691200 J.

Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J
