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

The total mechanical energy of a basketball is 400 J. If the kinetic energy is 286 J, what must the potential energy be?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

the potential energy is 114 J.

Explanation:

Given;

total mechanical energy, E = 400 J

kinetic energy, K.E = 286 J

The potential energy is calculated as follows;

E = K.E +  P.E

where;

P.E is the potential energy

P.E = E - K.E

P.E = 400 J - 286 J

P.E = 114 J

Therefore, the potential energy is 114 J.

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive i
klio [65]

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

This is the case of interference in thin films in which interference bands are formed due to constructive interference of two reflected light waves , one from upper layer and the other from lower layer . If t be the thickness and μ be the refractive index then

path difference created will be 2μ t.

For light coming from rarer to denser medium , a phase change of π occurs additionally after reflection from denser medium, here, two times, once from upper layer and then from the lower layer ,  so for constructive interference

path diff = nλ , for minimum t , n =1

path diff = λ

2μ t. =  λ

μ = λ / 2t

= 626 / 2 x 290

= 1.08
