A 300 g bird is flying along at 6.0 m/s and sees a 10 g insect heading straight towards it with a speed of 30 m/s. The bird open

s its mouth wide and swallows the insect. a. What is the birds speed immediately after swallowing the insect? b. What is the impulse on the bird? c. If the impact lasts 0.015 s, what is the force between the bird and the insect?

Answer:

(a): The bird speed after swallowing the insect is V= 4.83 m/s

(b): The impulse on the bird is I= 0.3 kg m/s

(c): The force between the bird and the insect is F= 20 N

Explanation:

ma= 0.3 kg

va= 6 m/s

mb= 0.01kg

vb= 30 m/s

(ma*va - mb*vb) / (ma+mb) = V

V= 4.83 m/s (a)

I= mb * vb

I= 0.3 kg m/s  (b)

F*t= I

F= I/t

F= 20 N (c)

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, how many seconds did it take to get to the top?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

6.14 s

Explanation:

The time the rocket takes to reach the top is only determined from its vertical motion.

The initial vertical velocity of the rocket is:

u_y = u sin \theta = (100)(sin 37^{\circ})=60.2 m/s

where

u = 100 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=37^{\circ} is the angle of launch

Now we can apply the suvat equation for an object in free-fall:

v_y = u_y +gt

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The rocket reaches the top when

v_y =0

So by substituting into the equation, we find the time t at which this happens:

t=-\frac{u_y}{g}=-\frac{60.2}{-9.8}=6.14 s

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
