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 baseball has a mass of 145 g. A bat exerts a force of 18,400 N on the ball. What is the acceleration of the ball?
amid [387]

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

If transpiration didn't take place, would water be able to enter the roots of the plant? Explain your reasoning
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

If transpiration didn't take place water would still be able to enter the roots of a plant

Explanation:

transpiration is the process of water leaving from living organisms to the atmosphere, therefore, if transpiration didn't occur the water would not transpire to the atmosphere and would remain in the root but water absorption would not change because it is a biological need for the living organism as such

A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s along a straight line from point A to point B and then back along the line
Sav [38]

Answer:

4.25 m/s

Explanation:

They walked the first distance at 5.50 m/s, then the same distance at 3 m/s.

Since the distances are equal, the average speed is simply the average of 5.50 and 3.

(5.50 + 3) / 2 = 4.25

Her average speed over the entire trip is 4.25 m/s.

When a cube is inscribed in a sphere of radius r, the length Lof a side of the cube is . If a positive point charge Qis placed a
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

  Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π

Explanation:

The electrical flow is

      Ф = E A

where E is the electric field and A is the surface area

Let's shut down the electric field with Gauss's law

       Фi = ∫ E .dA = q_{int} / ε₀

the Gaussian surface is a sphere so its area is

        A = 4 π r²

the charge inside is

        q_{int} = Q

we substitute

       E 4π r² = Q /ε₀

       E = 1 / 4πε₀   Q / r²

To calculate the flow on the two surfaces

* Sphere

       Ф = E A

        Ф = 1 / 4πε₀  Q / r² (4π r²)

        Ф_sphere = Q /ε₀

* Cube

Let's find the side value of the cube inscribed inside the sphere.

In this case the radius of the sphere is half the diagonal of the cube

          r = d / 2

We look for the diagonal with the Pythagorean theorem

         d² = L² + L² = 2 L²

         d = √2 L

         

we substitute

          r = √2 / 2 L

          r = L / √2

          L = √2  r

now we can calculate the area of ​​the cube that has 6 faces

          A = 6 L²

          A = 6 (√2  r)²

          A = 12 r²

the flow is

          Ф = E A

          Ф = 1 / 4πε₀  Q/r²  (12r²)

          Ф_cubo = 3 /πε₀  Q

the relationship of these two flows is

         Ф_cube /Ф_sphere = 3 /π
