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.
What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing?

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.

Answer:

<h2>Radiation</h2>

Explanation:

<h3>Greetings !</h3>

The Sun reaches us by propagating through the vacuum of space. Sunlight reaches the Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, both conduction and convection play key roles to scatter it throughout the planet.

Why does a heavier object fall faster
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Explanation:

In a vacuum (no air resistance), it doesn't.  All falling objects, regardless of mass, accelerate at the same rate.

However, when air resistance is taken into account, heavier objects indeed fall faster than lighter objects, provided they have the same shape and size.  For example, a lead ball falls faster than a styrofoam ball.

To understand why, first look at what factors affect air resistance:

D = ½ρv²CA

where ρ is air density,

v is velocity,

C is drag coefficient,

and A is cross sectional area.

As falling objects accelerate, they eventually reach a maximum velocity where air resistance equals weight.  This is called terminal velocity.

D = W

½ρv²CA = mg

v = √(2mg/(ρCA))

If we increase m while holding everything else constant, v increases.  So two objects with the same size and shape but different masses will have different terminal velocities, with the heavier object falling faster.
