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>

The tallest building in the world, according to some architectural standards, is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 f
Andrej [43]

Answer:

35.14°C

Explanation:

The equation for linear thermal expansion is \Delta L = \alpha L_0\Delta T, which means that a bar of length L_0 with a thermal expansion coefficient \alpha under a temperature variation \Delta T will experiment a length variation \Delta L.

We have then \Delta L = 0.481 foot, L_0 = 1671 feet and \alpha = 0.000013 per centigrade degree (this is just the linear thermal expansion of steel that you must find in a table), which means from the equation for linear thermal expansion that we have a \Delta T =\frac{\Delta L }{\alpha L_0} = 22.14°. As said before, these degrees are centigrades (Celsius or Kelvin, it does not matter since it is only a variation), and the foot units cancel on the equation, showing no further conversion was needed.

Since our temperature on a cool spring day was 13.0°C, our new temperature must be T_f=T_0+\Delta T = 35.14°C

what is the force if a block of wood with mass 20 kg slides along a frictionless surface at 2 m/s squared
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N

Test Due! Which statement is true?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The correct answer is C. Mercury and Mars have the same gravitational force

Explanation:

This chart compares the different features of two planets in our solar system (Mercury and Mars). In this chart, the only numerical value or feature that is the same for both planets is gravity because for both planets gravity is 1.7 m/s2. This implies the gravitational force or the force that attracts objects towards the center of the planet is the same or that objects are pulled with the same force in both planets. Moreover, this factor depends on others such as mass, density, among others.
