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.

A spool whose inner core has a radius of 1.00 cm and whose end caps have a radius of 1.50 cm has a string tightly wound around t
White raven [17]

Answer:

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use that angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

in the case of the spool the angular velocity for the whole system is constant,

They indicate the linear velocity v₀ = 25.0 cm / s for a radius of r₀ = 1.00 cm,

         w = v₀ /r₀

for the outside of the spool r₁ = 1.5 cm

         w = v₁ / r₁1

since the angular velocity is the same we set the two expressions equal

        \frac{v_o}{r_o} = \frac{v_1}{r_1}

        v1 = \frac{r_1}{r_o} \ \ v_o

let's calculate

       v₁ = \frac{1.50}{1.00} \ \ 25.0

       v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

1. A truck with a mass of 8, 000 kg is traveling at 26.8 m/s when it hits the brakes. A.)What is the momentum of the truck befor
NikAS [45]

Answer:

1. A.) The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes is 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The force it takes to stop the truck is approximately 17,290.4 N

Explanation:

1. A.) The given parameters are;

The mass of the truck, m = 8,000 kg

The velocity of the truck when it hits the brakes, u = 26.8 m/s

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

The moment of the truck = The mass of the truck × The velocity of the truck

Therefore;

The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes = 8,000 kg × 26.8 m/s = 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The amount of momentum lost when the truck comes to a stop = The initial momentum of the truck

The time it takes the truck to come to a complete stop, t = 12.4 s

The deceleration, "a" of the truck is given by the following kinematic equation of motion

v = u - a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the truck = 0 m/s

u = The initial velocity = 26.8 m/s

a = the deceleration of the truck

t = The time of deceleration of the truck = 12.4 s

Substituting the known values gives;

0 = 26.8 - a × 12.4

Therefore;

26.8 = a × 12.4

a = 26.8/12.4 ≈ 2.1613

The deceleration (negative acceleration) of the truck, a ≈ 2.1613 m/s²

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force required to stop the truck = The mass pf the truck × The deceleration (negative acceleration) given to the truck

∴ The force it takes to stop the truck = 8,000 kg × 2.1613 m/s² ≈ 17,290.4 N.
