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>

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

 v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

            v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

           a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

          v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

          v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0              

          0 = v₀² /4  - 2 a y '

          v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y)  y’

          y = 4 y'

          y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

         v² = v₀² -2a y’

         v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

         v² = -v₀² / 4

         v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Very sorry if this is late

Explanation:

Currently, in Olympia, Washington, it is raining because a cold front with high pressure has met an area with low pressure. This occurs due to the fact that storms are caused by sudden differences in air pressure.

Does mechanical advantage have units? Explain your answer.
motikmotik

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load (the resistance overcome by a machine) to the effort (the force applied). For an ideal (without friction) mechanism, it is also equal to: There is no unit for mechanical advantages since the unit for both input and output forces cancel out.
