Answer:

The eagle gained 882 J of  gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of an eagle = 4.5 kg

Initial height h_{i} = 5\ m

Final height  h _{f} = 25\ m

We need to calculate the gravitational potential energy gain

The gravitational potential energy is defined as,

E = mgh

Change the gravitational potential energy is

\Delta E= mgh_{f}-mgh_{i}

Put the value in to the formula

\Delta E = 4.5\times9,8\times(25-5)

\Delta E = 4.5\times9,8\times20

\Delta E=882\ J

Hence, The eagle gained 882 J of  gravitational potential energy.

A car (mass = 1200 kg) is traveling at 31.1 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2830 kg) traveling
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

13.18 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of sports utility car is

-u as it is moving in opposite direction.

mc = 1200 kg, uc = 31.1 m/s

ms = 2830 kg, us = - u = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mc × uc + ms × us = 0

1200 × 31.1 - 2830 × u = 0

u = 13.18 m/s

Explain Rutherford's experiment?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

Explanation:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

When this alpha particles were made to strike the aluminum foil, some passed through the foil, some were reflected and speed others changed.

The ones reflected encountered heavier particle known as the nucleus, preventing them from passing through it. The whole observations indicated that atom is not is uniformly charged sphere as proposed by J.J Thomson.

Rutherford proposed new model known as the Planetary model of atom, which described atom as containing a nucleus which is revolved by electron, just like planets revolve round the sun. And this nucleus contains opposite charge to electron which is proton, to balance the motion.

"A toy airplane flies clockwise at a constant speed in a horizontal circle of radius 8.0 meters. The magnitude of the accelerati
Citrus2011 [14]

For the answer to the question above, so at the instant, the acceleration of the airplane is southward, the direction of the velocity is also southward. The direction should be the same because it is both a vector quantity and it does not make sense if the direction and acceleration have different direction.
