Peregrine falcons are the fastest birds in the world, reaching max- imum speeds of up to 320 km/h (88 m/s) during a hunting stoo

p. In one such episode, a 600-g falcon traveling at its top speed hits a 458-g pigeon flying east. The falcon, also flying directly east hits the pigeon from directly behind.The falcon grabs the pigeon with its talons and the pair travels together at a speed of 65 m/s. What is the energy lost in the collision? (Hint: the total initial kinetic energy is not just the falcon's kinetic energy; assume that the height of the birds does not change during the collision)

Answer:

366.6J

Explanation:

We only need to apply conservative linear momentum, making v the initial speed of pigeon, so

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V

600g*88m/s+458g*v_2 = (600+458)*65m/s

Solving for v,

v_2 = 34.87m/s

<em>The energy lost we can calculate with </em>

KE_{lost} = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2-\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)V^2

KE_{lost} = \frac{1}{2}*0.6*88^2 + \frac{1}{2}*0.458*34.87^2 - \frac{1}{2} (0.6+0.458)*65^2

KE_{lost} = 366.6J

An airplane of mass 39,043.01 flies horizontally at an altitude of 9.2 km with a constant speed of 335 m/s relative to Earth. Wh
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1.2 x 10¹¹ kgm²/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the airplane = 39043.01

r = altitude of the airplane = 9.2 km = 9.2 x 1000 m = 9200 m

v = speed of airplane = 335 m/s

L = Angular momentum of airplane

Angular momentum of airplane is given as

L = m v r

Inserting the values

L = (39043.01 ) (335) (9200)

L =  (39043.01 ) (3082000)

L = 1.2 x 10¹¹ kgm²/s

(a) Compute the radius r of an impurity atom that will just fit into an FCC octahedral site in terms of the atomic radius R of t
ratelena [41]

Answer:

radius r is  0.414 R

Explanation:

Given data

FCC octahedral site

atomic radius R

to find out

radius r

solution

we know that at FCC octahedral

length of side = 2 R + 2r

and by pythagorean theorem

a = 2√2R

here a = 2R + 2r

so 2R + 2r = 2√2R

so r = ( √2R )- R

r = 0.414 R

so  radius r is  0.414 R

A 50 kg person steps off a diving platform that is 10 meters above the water below (Olympic height). With what speed do they hit
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass = 50 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) =?

The velocity (v) with which the person hit the water can be obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 10)

v² = 0 + 196

v² = 196

Take the square root of both side

v = √196

v = 14 m/s

Therefore, he will hit the water with a speed of 14 m/s
