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>

A sphere of metal has a mass of 1431 g and a diameter of 5.80 cm. What is the density of metal in g/cm3
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

You will need t find the volume of the sphere

 4/3 pi r^3    divide into the mass

1431 / (4/3 pi (5.8)^3) = 14 gm /cm^3

Which transformation could take place at the anode of an electrochemical cell?
erica [24]
As I found out the choices for your question which are: 

<span>A) F2 to F-
B) Cr2O7²- → Cr2+ 
C) O2 to H2O
D) HAsO2 to As
</span>
Unfortunately, the answer does not belong to the choices provided. In fact, it is the oxidation half-reaction that occurs at the anode of an electrode for it to transform chemical energy to consumable electrical energy.
