Answer:

The change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of goose, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of commercial airliner, m₂ = 160,000 kg

initial velocity of the bird, u₁ = 60 km/hr  = 16.667 m/s

initial velocity of the airliner, u₂ = 870 km/hr = 241.667 m/s

Change in momentum is given as;

ΔP = mv - mu

where;

u is the initial velocity of the bird

v is the final velocity of the bird

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the final velocity of bird and airliner after collision;

(2 x 16.667) + (160,000 x 241.667) = v (2 + 160,000)

38,666,753.334 = 160,002v

v = 38,666,753.334 / 160,002

v = 241.664 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the bird is negligible compared to final  velocity of the airliner.

ΔP = mv - mu

ΔP = m(v - u)

ΔP = 2(0 - 16.667)

ΔP = -33.334 m/s

The negative sign implies a deceleration of the bird after the impact.

Therefore, the change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

\mu = 1.645

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

\theta_i = 19^o

\theta_r = ?

\mu_1 = 1

\mu_2 = \mu

now we have

1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r

0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = \theta_r'

\theta_e = 90

so again we have

\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90

so we have

\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}

\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

also we know that

\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49

sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49

By solving above equation we have

\mu = 1.645

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

 λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

r = 12.0 \mu m

Volume of the pollen is given as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3

V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3

mass of the pollen is given as

m = \rho V

m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}

so weight of the pollen is given as

W = mg

W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)

W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}

Now electric force on the pollen is given

F = qE

F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)

F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}
