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

Suppose you wish to construct a motor that produces a maximum torque whose magnitude is 1.7 × 10-2 N·m. The coil of the motor ha
Len [333]

Answer:

86 turns

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic torque, τ = 1.7 * 10^(-2) Nm

Area of coil, A = 9 * 10^(-4) m²

Current in coil, I = 1.1 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.2 T

The magnetic toque is given mathematically as:

τ = N * I * A * B

Where N = number of turns

To find the number of turns, we make N subject of formula:

N = τ/(I * A * B)

Therefore:

N = (1.7 * 10^(-2)) / (1.1 * 9 * 10^(-4) * 0.2)

N = 85.85 = 86 turns (whole number)

The number of turns must be 86.

A student asks the following question:
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

  Natalie says that all things with mass have a gravitational field, but the force is very weak and cannot be perceived around small objects.

Explanation:

The force due to gravity is proportional to the mass of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects. The Earth is so massive that the force due to its gravity is much greater than the force between objects on the counter.

If there were no friction, the objects might move toward each other, depending on what other masses were near them tending to cause them to move in other directions.

Natalie's explanation is about the best.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The universal gravitational constant was determined by Henry Cavendish in the late 18th century using lead balls weighing 1.6 pounds and 348 pounds. His experiment was enclosed in a large wooden box to minimize outside effects. While these masses are somewhat greater than those of a glue bottle and stapler, the experiment shows the force of gravity between "small" objects <em>can</em> be measured.

Pls help, me, i nees to submit now
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question given, we must observe the characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror.

The image formed by a plane mirror have the following characteristics:

1. Laterally inverted.

2. Same distance as the object from the mirror.

3. Same height as the object.

4. Virtual.

With the above information, we can calculate the distance between the boy and his image as follow:

Initially:

Object distance (u) = 4m

Image distance (v) = 4m

The boy moved 2m away, therefore:

Object distance (u) = 2 + 4 = 6m

Image distanc(v) = 2 + 4 = 6m

The distance between the boy and his image will be the sum of his distance (u) and image distance (v) i.e (u + v)

The distance between the boy and his image = 6 + 6 = 12m

Therefore, the distance between the boy and his image is 12m.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m
