Hawks and gannets soar above the ground and, when they spot prey, they fold their wings and essentially drop like a stone. They

have evolved a highly aerodynamic shape that lets gravity build up their speed without having to make the effort of trying to fly at a high speed (See the figure of a diving hawk below. The technical term for this maneuver is "stooping".) For this problem, you may approximate the strength of the gravitational field as g = 10 N/kg.A. If a hawk is slowly soaring at a height of about 150 meters and spots a vole on the ground, folds its wings and begins its dive, with what speed will it be going when it gets to the ground? It's flight isn't powered: it just falls with an acceleration of ~10 m/s2. (Of course, it has to turn a bit above the ground in order not to crash. We will ignore this part of its flight path.)

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use energy conservation for this problem.

Starting point Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ 2gh

Let's calculate

         v = √ (2 9.8 150)

         v = 54.2 m / s

Set local ground level to 700 ft, and record the inches of mercury.
Katen [24]

The altimeter reading is 29.17 from the Kollsman window is 29.17 in Hg

<h3>How to determine the altimeter reading?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Ground level = 700 ft i.e. the field elevation
  • Pressure altitude = 1450 ft

The pressure altitude is calculated as:

Altitude = (29.92 – Altimeter reading) * 1,000 + Ground level

Substitute the known values

1450 = (29.92 - Altimeter reading) * 1000 + 700

Subtract 700 from both sides

750 = (29.92 - Altimeter reading) * 1000

Divide through by 1000

0.75 = 29.92 - Altimeter reading

Evaluate the like terms

Altimeter reading = 29.17

Hence, the altimeter reading is 29.17 from the Kollsman window is 29.17 in Hg

After a surface interval my pressure group is D. I want to do a repetitive dive to 38 feet for 32 minutes. What will be my new p
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

New pressure group is N

Explanation:

The Repetitive Dive table has to be checked, the residual nitrogen for the maximum depth of 38 feet as a "D" diver, then add that to the actual dive time to get the total nitrogen time. The total nitrogen time and the maximum depth of 38 feet would put you on a pressure group N.

Which of newtons laws is illustrated by a squid moving forward by shooting water out behind it? Why?
Dimas [21]
I believe its newtons 3rd law for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction since the squid is moving foward by shooting the water its pushing the squid back as its reaction. Hope this helped !

In Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces D.)act on different objects

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then action B exerts an equal and  opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note from the statement above that the action force and the reaction force always act on different objects. Let's take an example: a man pushing a box. We have:

  • Action force: the force applied by the man on the box, forward
  • Reaction force: the force applied by the box on the man, backward

As we can see from this example, the action force is applied on the box, while the reaction force is applied on the man: this means that the two forces do not act on the same object. This implies that whenever we draw the free-body diagram of the forces acting on an object, the action and reaction forces never appear in the same diagram, since they act on different objects.
