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)

1. How do you determine which between the two object has a greater amount of potential energy?
jeka94

Answer:

All of these answers are dependent upon the specific scenario, but here are some general answers.

1. An object with a greater height will have more potential energy.

2. Potential energy can be changed into kinetic energy as an object falls. It loses height (potential energy) and gains speed (kinetic energy).

3. Depends on what scenario your class had.

What happens to acceleration if forces are balanced
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

No acceleration.

Explanation:

If the forces are Balanced it means they are in equilibrium and there will be  no net force, therefore the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.

Why do nuclear power plants use fission rather than fusion to generate
kicyunya [14]

B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

  • Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
  • But fusion produces far more energy.
  • The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
  • The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
  • Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

Describe which relationships in Ohm’s law are DIRECT and which are INVERSE. Use examples to support your answer. You can use cal
ra1l [238]

Answer:

I like to memorize excerpt from articles to solve and answer questions like these. I hope this can help, it's from study.com: "The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is described by Ohm's law. This equation, i = v/r, tells us that the current, i, flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage, v, and inversely proportional to the resistance, r."
