When birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings, they are gliding downward with maintaining thrust

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Birds are lightweight, because they have got the capability to clasp the wind in their wings. When the birds remain in the air but not flapping their wings, they are gliding across the wind. Birds have their wings open, so it makes them lighter across their whole body, and then it slowly glide.

They are gliding on updrafts or rising currents of air. Air close to the earth is heated by the sun and this causes it to rise. Warm air is less dense than cold air so it will rise. Birds seem to glide because the gravity force acting on the animal as it flies is equal by the rising column of air. This is called soaring. The definition of soaring is: rising very quickly to a high level. For example: A soaring California Condor spreads its primary feathers, so each acts as a small, and high-aspect-ratio wing. This reduces turbulence at the wingtips and lowers the stall speed

Birds also use the thermal uprise where the rising columns of air caused by the uneven heating of Earth's surface from solar radiation.

Complete Question

Red blood cells can be modeled as spheres of 6.53 μm diameter with −2.55×10−12 C excess charge uniformly distributed over the surface. Find the electric field at the following locations, with radially outward defined as the positive direction and radially inward defined as the negative direction. The permittivity of free space ????0 is 8.85×10−12 C/(V⋅m). What is the electric field

E⃗ 1 inside the cell at a distance of 3.05 μm from the center?

E⃗ 2 Just inside the surface of the cell

E⃗ 3 Just outside the surface of the cell

E⃗ 4 At a point outside the cell 3.05 μm from the surface

Answer:

E⃗ 1

      0 V/m

E⃗ 2

      0 V/m

E⃗ 3

         E_3 =  2.153 *10^{9} \  V/m

E⃗ 4

E_4 =  5.754 *10^ {8} \  V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter is d =  6.53 \mu m  = 6.53*10^{-6}\  m

The charge is Q =  -.2.55 *10^{-12} \  C

The permittivity of free space is \epsilon_o  =  8.85* 10^{-12}\  C / V.m

The distance considered is d =  3.05 \mu m  =  3.05 *10^{-6} \ m

Generally the electric field inside the cell at a distance of 3.05 μm from the center is

0 V/m

This because there is no electric field felt inside the cell according Gauss the cell is taken as a point charge

Generally the electric field just inside the surface of the cell is 0 V/m

This because there is no electric field felt inside the cell according Gauss the cell is taken as a point charge

Generally the electric field just outside the cell is mathematically represented as

E_3 =  \frac{ k  *  |Q|}{ r^2 }

Here k is the coulomb constant with value

k  =   9*10^{9}\ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}

r is the radius of the sphere which is mathematically as

r =  \frac{d}{2} =   \frac{6.53*10^{-6}}{2}  = 3.265 *10^{-6} \  m

E_3 =  \frac{ 9*10^{9}  *  |-2.55 *10^{-12} |}{ [3.265 *10^{-6} ]^2 }

E_3 =  2.153 *10^{9} \  V/m

Generally the electric field at a point outside the cell 3.05 μm from the surface is mathematically represented as

E_4 =  \frac{ k  *  |Q|}{ R^2 }

Here R is mathematically represented as

R  =  3.265 *10^{-6} +  3.05 *10^{-6}

=>       R  =  6.315 *10^{-6}

So

E_4 =  \frac{ 9*10^{9}  *  |-2.55 *10^{-12} |}{ [ 6.315 *10^{-6} ]^2 }

E_4 =  5.754 *10^ {8} \  V/m

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

a)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

b)

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s
