Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at s

peeds up to about 100 km/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 50 km/h wind is blowing from west to east.Part A
At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?Part B
How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south?

Answer:

a. The angle at which the goose must be travelling relative to the north-south direction is 210°

b. 6.35 h

Explanation:

Part A

At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground

Adding vectorially v₁ = v₂ + v₃ where v₁ = velocity of goose relative to ground, v₂ = velocity of wind relative to ground and v₃ = velocity of goose relative to air.

So  v₁ = √(100² - 50²) = √(10000 - 2500) = √7500 =  86.6 km/h

The angle between the relative velocity of goose to wind and goose to ground is cosθ = velocity of goose to ground/velocity of goose relative to wind = 86.6km/h/100km/h = 0.8660

θ = cos⁻¹0.8660 = 30°

So, the angle at which the goose must be travelling relative to the north-south direction is 180° + 30° = 210°

Part B

How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south?

Since the velocity of goose relative to ground = 86.6 km/h,

Since time = distance/speed = 550 km/86.6 km/h = 6.35 h

Answer:

θ = 30°   ( West of south )

t = 6.35 hrs

Explanation:

Given:

- The velocity of goose relative to air v_B/A = 100 km/h

- The velocity of wind v_w = 50 km/h

- The angle relative to ground θ

- Distance traveled from North-South d = 550 km

Find:

Part A

At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?

Part B  

How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 550 km from north to south?

Solution:

- We want the bird to fly with speed v_B/A = 100 km/h with an angle θ relative to ground so that the bird fly due south relative to ground. (See Attachment)

- From the figure we got by using trigonometric ratios:

                              sin(θ) = v_w / v_B/A

                              sin(θ) = 50/100

                              θ = 30°   ( West of south )

- The bird will have only north-south velocity relative to the earth v_B/G:

                              v_B/G = v_B/A*cos(θ)

                              v_B/G = 100*cos(30)

                              v_B/G = 86.603 km/h

- Applying distance time relationship we have:

                              t = d / v_B/G

                              t = 550 / 86.603

                              t = 6.35 hrs

Which of the answer choices is a true statement? Select all that apply. Metallic elements usually exist as molecules, combining
lianna [129]

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Nonmetals usually exist as molecules, combining with atoms of themselves.

Nonmetals can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Explanation:

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms. They have a large radius and are stable enough to freely exist as single atoms. The metallic bonding in them gives them stability.  Example Gold, Silver, Platinum e.t.c

Non-metals are usually found in combined as state as molecules. They are usually joined together by covalent attraction. The bonds are formed with the atoms shares their valence electrons and their octet is completed. For example nitrogen gas, oxygen gas.

Most noble gases are non-metals that exist as individual mono-atomic gases on their own. The gases are stable and have an octet/duet configuration. For example helium gas, neon gas e.t.c

icang [17]

Answer:

The results of intergroup conflict are largely negative in that such a struggle lowers the morale and weakens the solidarity of the group. Conflict causes social disorder, chaos and confusion. War as a form of conflict may destroy the lives and properties of countless individuals.
