A peregrine falcon dives at a pigeon. The falcon starts with zero downward velocity and falls with the acceleration of gravity.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

t = 3.94 s

Explanation:

This can be modeled as a case of free fall motion. Because, the falcon is going down with acceleration, that is equal to acceleration due to gravity. To find the time taken by the falcon to intercept the pigeon, we will use second equation of motion for vertical direction:

$h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where,

h = height = 76 m

vi = initial speed of falcon = 0 m/s

t = time required = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$76\ m = (0\ m/s)(t) + \frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{(2)(76\ m)}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\t = \sqrt{ 15.49\ s^2}\\$

A distracted driver is driving towards a turn where the edge of the road leads into a 75.0 m cliff. The velocity of the vehicle

Vlada [557]

As long as the car is on the road, it moves with a constant speed of 80km/h.

As soon as the car starts to fall down the cliff, it follows a parabolic motion. It means that it still moves with constant speed along the x axis, but it also starts to move along the y axis, with constant acceleration (i.e. the acceleration due to gravity).

The good thing about parabolic motions is that the two motions along the x and y axes are completely separable.

So, first of all, we need to know how long it takes for an object to fall for 75m. The equation of a constantly accelerated motion is

$s=s_0+v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Where $s_0$ is the initial position, $v_0$ is the initial speed, and $a$ is the constant rate of acceleration. In our case, we start from an initial height of 75m, an initial (vertical!) speed of zero, and our acceleration is $-g$ . So, our equation becomes

$s=75-\dfrac{g}{2}t^2$

And we want to solve for the time when $s=0$ (i.e. we want to know how long will it take for the object to reach the ground). We have

$0=75-\dfrac{g}{2}t^2 \iff 75=\dfrac{g}{2}t^2 \iff \dfrac{2\cdot75}{g}=t^2 \iff t=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{g}}$

(I'm discarding the negative solution because it wouldn't make sense)

Now that we've used the vertical motion to find out the falling time, we can go back to the horizontal motion. We know that the car moves for a certain amount of time at a certain speed. So, we simply have to plug our values in the $s=vt$ equation, to get

$s=80\sqrt\dfrac{150}{g}}$

This is how far from the base of the cliff the vehicle lands.

Which of the following about Dalton's theory of matter is true?

Lemur [1.5K]

D.Atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe allmatter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that allmatter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.
