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

Which statement bet explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between th
Nataliya [291]
Coulomb's Law: Force = k x q1x q2 divided distance square
where k=9x10^9 , q1 and q2 are the charge
So if you distance is halved, your force is stronger by 4 times
and if you distance is doubled, your force is 1/4

Bicycle A with mass 40 Kg is traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s and Bicycle B with mass 20 Kg is traveling with a velocity of 2m
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

bicycle A has a greater K.E.

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2mv²

bicycle A = 1/2 × 40 × 4² = 320J

bicycle B = 1/2 × 20 × 2² = 100J

bicycle A has a greater K.E. because it has bigger mass and moves with faster velocity

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a frequency of 841 Hz if the speed of the wave is 457 m/s?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 m</h3>

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave can be found by using the formula

\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}  \\

where

c is the velocity

f is the frequency

So we have

\lambda =  \frac{457}{841}  \\  = 0.543400713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.54 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer: :)

1.) The Doppler effect is, the change in sound or light that occurs whenever there is motion between the source and its observer. The siren of the fire engine has a lower pitch as it moves away because the waves are now spread out causing a lower frequency and a lower pitch.

2.) Wave frequency is related to wave energy. Since all that waves really are is traveling energy, the more energy in a wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave.
