A 270 g bird flying along at 5.0 m/s sees a 11 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 35 m/s (as measured by an obs

erver on the ground, not by the bird). The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch.

Answer:

The bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 6.17 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bird, m = 270 g = 0.27 kg

Initial speed of the bird, u = 5 m/s

Mass of the insect, m' = 11 g = 0.011 kg

Initial speed of the insect, u' = 35 m/s

We need to find the bird's speed immediately after swallowing. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum as :

mu+m'u'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{mu+m'u'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.27\times 5+0.011\times 35}{(0.27+0.011)}\\\\V=6.17\ m/s

So, the bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 6.17 m/s.

Which shows the formula for converting from kelvins to degrees Celsius? °C = (9/5 × K) +32 °C = 5/9 × (K – 32) °C = K – 273 °C =
madam [21]

The freezing point of the water is 0 C , and it equals to 273 K

Then, To convert from Kelvins degrees to Celsius degrees we use the relation

K = C + 273

Also,

C = K - 273

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

1.44 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+a\times 5\\\Rightarrow v=5a

This velocity will be the initial velocity of the car when it passes through the first building

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3=5a\times 0.4+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.4^2\\\Rightarrow a=1.44\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 1.44 m/s²

a spring gun initially compressed 2cm fires a 0.01kg dart straight up into the air. if the dart reaches a height it 5.5m determi
Vikki [24]

Answer:

2697.75N/m

Explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on energy stored in a spring.

Step two

Given data

Compression x= 2cm

To meter = 2/100= 0.02m

Mass m= 0.01kg

Height h= 5.5m

K=?

Let us assume g= 9.81m/s²

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of energy

We know that the the energy stored in a spring is

E= 1/2kx²

1/2kx²= mgh

Making k subject of formula we have

kx²= 2mgh

k= 2mgh/x²

k= (2*0.01*9.81*5.5)/0.02²

k= 1.0791/0.0004

k= 2697.75N/m

Hence the spring constant k is 2697.75N/m
