A 290 gg bird flying along at 6.2 m/sm/s sees a 9.0 gg insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 34 m/sm/s (as measured

by an observer on the ground, not by the bird). The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch.
What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing?

Answer:

The bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 4.98 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bird = 290 g

Speed = 6.2 m/s

Mass of sees = 9.0 g

Speed = 34 m/s

We need to calculate the bird's speed immediately after swallowing

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{3}

Put the value into the formula

0.290\times6.2+0.009\times(-34)=(0.290+0.009)\times v_{3}

v_{3}=\dfrac{0.290\times6.2-0.009\times34}{(0.290+0.009)}

v_{3}=4.98\ m/s

Hence, The bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 4.98 m/s.

oksian1 [2.3K]
In a nuclear power plant, energy is released from the nuclei of atoms. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option. Huge amount of thermal energy is released by the breaking of the uranium atoms. This energy is used for turning a turbine that produces electricity. It is a very clean method of producing electricity.

The six statements below represent Newton's three laws of motion and Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. Match each stateme
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. Force = mass x acceleration - Newton

2. A planet moves faster in the part of its orbit nearer the Sun and slower when farther from the Sun, sweeping out  equal areas in equal times - Kepler

3. For any force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force - Newton .

4. An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it - Newton

5. The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus  - Kepler.

6. More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the precise mathematical relationship p2-a3 - Kepler.

Explanation:

The three laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler or Kepler's laws of planetary motion:

  1. The first law states that the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one of the foci.
  2. The second law states that the line segment joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time.
  3. The third law states that the square of the orbital period (p) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance (a) from the Sun (or semi-major axis of its orbit) i.e., p² is proportional to a³.

The three laws of motion formulated by Sir Isaac Newton or Newton's laws of motion:

  1. The first law, also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest or moves at a constant velocity will remain at rest or keep moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by a force.
  2. The second law states that the total force (F) applied on an object is directly related to the acceleration (a) of that object produced by the applied force and the mass (m) of the object, i.e., F = ma (assuming the mass m is constant).
  3. The third law, also known as the law of action and reaction states that when an object exerts a force on another object, then the latter exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the former object i.e., for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example includes the recoiling of a gun when it fires a bullet forward.

Which of the following is true A. If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the object must be in equilibrium
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A. If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the object must be in equilibrium

Explanation:

Equilibrium, in physics, the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time.

For a single particle, equilibrium arises if the vector sum of all forces acting upon the particle is zero.

the object is at equilibrium, then the net force acting upon the object should be 0 Newton. Thus, if all the forces are added together as vectors, then the resultant force (the vector sum) should be 0 Newton.

There are three types of equilibrium: stable, unstable, and neutral
