To protect their young in the nest, peregrine falcons will fly into birds of prey (such as ravens) at high speed. In one such ep

isode, a 600-g falcon flying at 20.0 m/s hit a 1.50-kg raven flying at 9.0 m/s. The falcon hit the raven at right angles to its original path and bounced back at 5.0 m/s. (These figures were estimated by the author as he watched this attack occur in northern New Mexico.) (a) By what angle did the falcon change the raven’s direction of motion? (b) What was the raven’s speed right after the collision?

Answer:

Part a)

\theta = 48 degree

Part b)

v = 13.45 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

mass of the Falcon bird is given as

m = 600 g

initial speed of the bird is

v_i = 20 m/s

final speed of the bird is given as

v_f = 5 m/s (opposite direction)

So here the impulse given by falcon bird is given as

I = m(v_f - v_i)

I = 0.600(20 + 5)

I = 15 kg m/s

now the final momentum of Raven bird in perpendicular direction is given as

I = mv_y

15 = 1.50 v_y

v_y = 10 m/s

now the change in the angle of the raven bird is given as

tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta = \frac{10}{9}

\theta = 48 degree

Part b)

Final speed of the raven bird is given as

v^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2

v^2 = 9^2 + 10^2

v = 13.45 m/s

A boy starts from point A and walks 3 meters toward the north, then turns around and walks 6 meters toward the south.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Total distance traveled = 9 m

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travel towards north = 3 meter

Distance travel towards south = 6 meter

Find:

Total distance traveled

Computation:

Total distance traveled = Sum of total distance

Total distance traveled = Distance travel towards north + Distance travel towards south

Total distance traveled = 3 m + 6 m

Total distance traveled = 9 m

A man leave his townA at 8 am for town B which is 384km away and he reach at4pm what is average speed in m/s
zlopas [31]

Total distance covered = 384 Km

Total time taken to travel from A to B = 8 hours [from 8 am to 4 pm, there are 8 hours]

We know, Average speed = Total Distance Travelled/ Total Time Taken

Therefore, average speed = 384 Km/8 h = 384000m/8×60×60s =(384000/28800)m/s

= 13.3 m/s

Answer is 13.3 m/s
