A bird flies from the South Pole to the North Pole. Part of the journey is 1000 miles that takes 2 weeks. What is the bird’s vel
2 answers:
The correct answer to the question is : 2.976 miles/hour.
CALCULATION:
As per the question, the distance travelled by the bird X = 1000 miles.
The time taken by the bird to cover that distance t = 2 weeks.
= 2 × 7× 24 hours
= 336 hours
We are asked to calculate the speed of the bird.
The speed of the bird is calculated as -
speed v =
=
= 2.976 miles/hour [ans]
Hence, the velocity of the bird is 2.976 miles/hour.

PART a)
here when stone is dropped there is only gravitational force on it
so its acceleration is only due to gravity
so we will have
Part b)
Now from kinematics equation we will have
now we have
y = 25 m
so from above equation
Part c)
If we throw the rock horizontally by speed 20 m/s
then in this case there is no change in the vertical velocity
so it will take same time to reach the water surface as it took initially
So t = 2.26 s
Part D)
Initial speed = 20 m/s
angle of projection = 65 degree
now we have
PART E)
when stone will reach to maximum height then we know that its final speed in y direction becomes zero
so here we can use kinematics in Y direction
so it will take 1.85 s to reach the top
Answer:
The second ball
Explanation:
Both balls are under the effect of gravity, accelerating with exactly the same value. The first ball is dropped, therefore its initial velocity is zero. Since the second ball has horizontal and vertical velocity components, its initial velocity is given by:
The vertical component is zero, however, it has a horizontal velocity, so its initial speed is not zero, therefore the secong ball has the greater speed at ground level.
