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

What is Newton's Law
r-ruslan [8.4K]
I hope you are referring to Newton's Laws of Motion by "Newton's Law".

There are three laws quoted by the great physicist of all time Sir Isaac Newton.

These laws are the building-blocks of the field of the Physics known as Classical Physics or Classical Mechanics.

Law 1. If no force applied externally, then a body in rest will always be in rest and a body in motion will continue to move in a straight line with a uniform velocity.

Law 2. The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied and the direction of motion is always in the direction of the force applied.

Law 3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The Law 1 is also called the law of Inertia.

From the 2nd law, we can derive the equation of force, that is F =m.a (m = mass; a = acceleration)

when a man travel from hilly region to terai region what will happen to his weight ? explain with reason.​
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

His weight increases.

Explanation:

  • The weight of the body is the gravitational force acting on the body at that location.
  • The gravitational force is defined as the product of mass  of the body and the acceleration due to gravity.

                                           W = m x g

  • The acceleration due to gravity of earth is high at the surface and decreases with respect to the height from the surface.
  • Hence, a man in the higher altitude regions experience lower weight that in the the lower altitude  regions.

A solid sphere of radius 40.0cm has a total positive charge of 26.0μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate the
Rudiy27

The magnitude of the electric field for 60 cm is 6.49 × 10^5 N/C

R(radius of the solid sphere)=(60cm)( 1m /100cm)=0.6m

Q\;(\text{total charge of the solid sphere})=(26\;\mathrm{\mu C})\left(\dfrac{1\;\mathrm{C}}{10^6\;\mathrm{\mu C}} \right)={26\times 10^{-6}\;\mathrm{C}}

Since the Gaussian sphere of radius r>R encloses all the charge of the sphere similar to the situation in part (c), we can use Equation (6) to find the magnitude of the electric field:

E=\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2}

Substitute numerical values:

E&=\dfrac{24\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.8542\times 10^{-12})(0.6)}\\ &={6.49\times 10^5\;\mathrm{N/C}\;\text{directed radially outward}}}

The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.

As an example, consider a charged spherical shell S of negligible thickness, with a uniformly distributed charge Q and radius R. We can use Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the resultant electric field E at a distance r from the center of the charged shell. It is immediately apparent that for a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r < R the enclosed charge is zero: hence the net flux is zero and the magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface is also 0 (by letting QA = 0 in Gauss's law, where QA is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface).

A student put her ear on one end of a long piece of lead. She asked her friend to
Ludmilka [50]

1) The length of the lead is 1700 m

2) The frequency of the wave is 400 Hz

Explanation:

1)

The wave in this problem is a sound wave, which is produced by the vibrations of the particles of air. It is a type of longitudinal wave (which means that the vibrations occur back-and-forth along the direction of propagation of the wave).

The speed of a sound wave in air is approximately

v = 340 m/s

In this problem, the sound wave is heard after a time of

t = 5 s

after the shot. Therefore, the distance travelled by the wave in this time (and therefore, the length of the lead) is

d=vt=(340)(5)=1700 m

2)

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles made by the wave in one second.

For the wave in this problem, we are told that the wave has 2000 whole wavelengths in 5 seconds: this means that the wave completes 2000 cycles in 5 seconds. Therefore, we can find the frequency by setting up the following proportion:

\frac{2000}{5}=\frac{x}{1}

where x is the number of cycles made in 1 second. Solving for x,

x=\frac{2000\cdot 1}{5}=400 s^{-1}

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is

f=400 Hz

Young's Modulus of elasticity is a) Shear stress/Shear strain b) Tensile stress/Shear strain 9. c) Shear stress /Tensile strairn
slava [35]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Young's modulus is the ratio of tensile stress and tensile strain.

Bulk modulus is the ratio of pressure and volume strain.

Rigidity modulus is the ratio of shear stress and shear strain.

Here we are asked about Young's modulus which is the ratio of tensile stress and tensile strain.

Option C is the correct answer.
