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

Why does a geostationary satellite must orbit around Earth's equator, rather than in some other orbit (such as around the poles)

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?
butalik [34]
Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

What is the magnitude momentum of a 2 kg body that moves with a speed of 3 m/s? (1 point)
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

<h2>D</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question

mass = 2 kg

velocity/speed = 3 m/s

We have

momentum = 2 × 3 = 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
