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.

A. Increases

I would assume this to be the answer because heat is another form of energy. If there is more energy the molecules will become more active. This makes A the most logical answer.

Given parameters:

Mass of the body  = 200g

Force on the body  = 10N

Unknown parameters:

Acceleration produced by the force  = ?

To solve this problem we must first define force in terms of mass and acceleration. This is possible due to the Newton's first law of motion.

  Force  = mass x acceleration

Here the unknown is acceleration and we can easily solve for it.

But we must take the mass to kilogram in order for it to cancel out.

        1000g  = 1 kg

        200g  = x kg =   \frac{200}{1000}   = 0.2kg

Now input the parameters and solve;

         10  = 0.2 x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{10}{0.2}   = 50m/s²

The acceleration produced by the body is 50m/s²

Mateo’s parents are thinking about investing money to help develop a new fusion power plant. Which issue is most important to co
Tasya [4]

Answer:

D) Fusion requires high temperatures and pressures, so how have they reduced the energy cost for it?

Explanation:

Fusion requires high temperatures and pressure for initiation of reaction . There is no chain reaction in it so there is no problem of controlling the problem . On the other hand , the reaction tends to stop as soon as temperature goes down due to heat getting dissipated . There is no problem of fuel as its fuel is deuterium which is present in nature in large amount . The question which is pertinent is that the cost involved in attaining so high temperature is very high so is it cost effective to produce energy by incurring so much of cost . Producing energy by using so much of energy in the beginning appears to be preposterous.
