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

A lithium atom has three protons, three neutrons, and three electrons. What is the overall charge on this atom?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

The overall charge on this atom is 0.

  To find the charge on an atom;

           charge  = number of protons - number of electrons.

Note:

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons carries no charges on them.

Since the atom is made up of equal number of protons and electrons, the charge on it is 0.

If the number of electrons is more, the atom will be negatively charge but if the number of protons is more, it will be positively charged.

When a certain string is clamped at both ends, the lowest four resonant frequencies are 50, 100, 150, and 200 Hz. When the strin
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Lowest four resonance frequencies are given with magnitude

50,100,150 and 200 Hz

The frequency of vibrating string is given by

f=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

where n=1,2,3 or ...n

L=Length of string

T=Tension

\mu =Mass per unit length

When string is clamped at mid-point

Effecting length becomes L'=0.5 L

Thus new Frequency becomes

f' =\frac{n}{L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

i.e. New frequency is double of old

so new lowest four resonant frequencies are 100,200,300 and 400 Hz

two test cars of equal mass moving towards each other collide on a horiontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, car A h
LiRa [457]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

When the magnetic flux through a coil of wire changes, what is generated between the ends of the coil? Which equation predicts t
True [87]

Answer:

induced electromotive force (Voltage)    E = - N dΦ / dt

Explanation:

When the magnetic flux this coil induces a current in each turn of the coil, which is why an induced electromotive force (Voltage) appears at the ends of the coil.

This phenomenon is fully explained by Faraday's law

        E = - dΦ / dt

where in the case of a coil with N turns of has

        E = - N dΦ / dt

Rl flux is the product of the normal to the area by the magnetic field, in this case the flux changes so we can assume that the area of ​​the coil is constant
