A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre

e from its grasp. The hawk continues on its path at the same speed for 2.00 s before attempting to retrieve its prey. To accomplish the retrieval, it dives in a straight line at constant speed and recaptures the mouse 3.00 m above the ground. (a) Assuming no air resistance, find the diving speed (magnitude of the total velocity vector) of the hawk. (b) What angle did the hawk make with the horizontal during its descent? (c) For how long did the mouse "enjoy" free fall?

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

Explanation:

In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.

One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.

(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m

The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m

Then, the hypotenuse is:

h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m    (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2    (2)

yo: initial height = 230m

vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2

y: final height of the mouse = 3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:

3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s

The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.

You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:

v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}

The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s

(b) The angle is given by:

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{c_1}{h})=cos^{-1}(\frac{36m}{229.83m})=80.9 \°

Then angle between the horizontal and the trajectory of the Hawk when it is descending is 80.9°

(c) The mouse is falling down during 6.8 s

If a diver-in-training is put into a pressurized suit, by how much would the pressure have to be raised (in atmospheres) above a
Sever21 [200]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The bulk modulus for bone is 15.0 (GPa). If a diver-in-training is put into a pressurized suit, by how much would the pressure have to be raised (in atmospheres) above atmospheric pressure to compress her bones by 0.130% of their original volume?

Answer : The change in pressure will be, 1.95\times 10^7Pa

Explanation : Given,

Bulk modulus = 15.0GPa=15.0\times 10^9Pa

Change in volume = 0.130 % of original volume

Let the original volume be, V

So, Change in volume = \frac{0.130}{100}\times V

Formula used for change in pressure is:

\Delta P=\beta \frac{\Delta V}{V}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\Delta P=(15.0\times 10^9Pa)\times \frac{(\frac{0.130}{100}\times V)}{V}

\Delta P=1.95\times 10^7Pa

Thus, the change in pressure will be, 1.95\times 10^7Pa

Does a photon emitted by a higher-wattage red light bulb have more energy than a photon emitted by a lower-wattage red bulb
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The energy of these two photons would be the same as long as their frequencies are the same (same color, assuming that the two bulbs emit at only one wavelength.)

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is proportional to its frequency f. The constant of proportionality is Planck's Constant, h. This proportionality is known as the Planck-Einstein Relation.

E = h\, f.

The color of a beam of visible light depends on the frequency of the light. Assume that the two bulbs in this question each emits light of only one frequency (rather than a mix of light of different frequencies and colors.) Let f_{1} and f_{2} denote the frequency of the light from each bulb.

If the color of the red light from the two bulbs is the same, those two bulbs must emit light at the same frequency: f_{1} = f_{2}.

Thus, by the Planck-Einstein Relation, the energy of a photon from each bulb would also be the same:

h\, f_{1} = h\, f_{2}.

Note that among these two bulbs, the brighter one appears brighter soley because it emits more photons per unit area in unit time. While the energy of each photon stays the same, the bulb releases more energy by emitting more of these photons.

A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner, as t
salantis [7]

Answer:

2.07

Explanation:

Since you didn't supply the drawing, here is what I assumed:

A is the corner opposite the axis of rotation

B is one of the remaining two corners

L1 is the side between A & B

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

ac = v^2 / r = (v / r) * (v / r) * r…………1

Also angular speed is

w = v / r,………….2

Substituting (2) in (1) gives:

ac = (v / r) * (v / r) * r……….3

= (v / r)^2 * r

= w^2 * r

Therefore, the angular acceleration at A and at B are given by:

acA = w^2 * rA……..4

acB = w^2 * rB……..5

It is given that:

acA = n * acB…………6

Substituting (4) and (5) into (6) gives:

w^2 * rA = n * w^2 * rB ……….7==>

rA = n * rB……..8

In terms of the sides L1 and L2:

rA = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)…….9

and

rB = L2…………10

Considering (8):

n * L2 = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)………11

Squaring both sides:

n^2 * L2^2 = L1^2 + L2^2……….12

Dividing by L2^2:

n^2 = L1^2 / L2^2 + L2^2 / L2^2…….13

= (L1 / L2)^2 + 1 ==>

n^2 - 1 = (L1 / L2)^2 ………14==>

L1 / L2 = sqrt (n^2 - 1) ………15

= sqrt (2.30^2 - 1)

= 2.07. . . . . . <<<=== the value of the ratio L1 / L2 when n = 2.30
