0.013*30A 340 g bird flying along at 6.0 m/s sees a 13 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 30 m/s. The bird open

s its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing?

Answer:

<em>The speed of the bird immediately after swallow = 4.67 m/s</em>

Explanation:

According to the law of momentum,

initial momentum before collision(swallow) = final momentum after collision (swallow)

Note: The collision between the bird and the insect is inelastic, as both moves with the same velocity after collision (swallow)

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ =V (m₁ + m₂).................................. Equation 1

V = (m₁u₁-m₂u₂)/(m₁+m₂)................................... Equation 2

Note: The bird and the insect moves in opposite direction

where m₁ = mass of the bird, m₂ = mass of the insect, u₁ = initial velocity of the bird, u₂ = initial velocity of the insect, V = common velocity of the bird and the insect.

<em>Given: m₁ = 340 g = (340/1000) kg = 0.34 kg, m₂ = 13 g = 0.013 kg, u₁ = 6 m/s, u₂ = 30 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>V = [0.34(6) -0.013(30)]/(0.34+0.013)</em>

<em>V = (2.04-0.39)/0.353</em>

<em>V = 1.65/0.353</em>

<em>V = 4.67 m/s</em>

<em>Thus the speed of the bird immediately after swallow = 4.67 m/s</em>

One of the useful forns of the formula for electrical power is: Power = (voltage squared) / (resistance). Knowing that power is proportional to (voltage squared), we can see that if the voltage is reduced to 1/2, the power is reduced to 1/4 of its original value. The 220volt/60watt appliance, when operated on 110 volts, dissipates 60/4 = 15 watts.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is "6.96 rad/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Length,

L = 0.6 m

Mass,

m₁ = 0.5 kg

m₂ = 0.2 kg

Initial velocity,

V = 8 m/s

Now,

The final angular velocity will be:

⇒ \omega =\frac{6m_1V}{(4m_1+3m_2)L}

By substituting the values, we get

⇒     =\frac{6\times 0.2\times 8}{(4\times 0.2+3\times 0.5)0.6}

⇒     =\frac{9.6}{1.38}

⇒     =6.96 \ rad/s
