<span>Although Star Wars have been purely fictional and concerns space travel and Physics, it has some components that is possible according to our current understanding of Physics. Take for example the TIE fighters spacecrafts. It stands for Twin Ion Engine. Currently, Ion engines are being used for actual flight. </span>

A spool whose inner core has a radius of 1.00 cm and whose end caps have a radius of 1.50 cm has a string tightly wound around t

White raven [17]

Answer:

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use that angular and linear velocity are related

v = w r

in the case of the spool the angular velocity for the whole system is constant,

They indicate the linear velocity v₀ = 25.0 cm / s for a radius of r₀ = 1.00 cm,

w = v₀ /r₀

for the outside of the spool r₁ = 1.5 cm

w = v₁ / r₁1

since the angular velocity is the same we set the two expressions equal

$\frac{v_o}{r_o} = \frac{v_1}{r_1}$

v1 = $\frac{r_1}{r_o} \ \ v_o$

let's calculate

v₁ = $\frac{1.50}{1.00} \ \ 25.0$

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

regrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impac

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ before the collision must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ after the collision:

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (1)

Being:

$p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}$

$p_{f}=(M+m) V$

Where:

$M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg$ the mas of the peregrine falcon

$V_{i}=45 m/s$ the initial speed of the falcon

$m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg$ is the mass of the pigeon

$U_{i}=0 m/s$ the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

$V$ the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

$MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V$ (2)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m}$ (3)

$V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg}$ (4)

$V=30 m/s$ (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (6)

Where:

$F$ is the force exerted on the pigeon

$\Delta t=0.015 s$ is the time

$\Delta p$ is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

$\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i}$ (7)

$\Delta p=mV$ (8) Since $U_{i}=0$

Substituting (8) in (6):

$F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t}$ (9)

$F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s}$ (10)

Finally:

$F=480 N$

Which is a FALSE statement about elements?

rodikova [14]

C is incorrect because the atomic number and symbol are the only ones displayed.

I think it could be A but it is most likely C

Hope it helps!!

The solar system consists of the sun and nine planets moving in definite orbits around the sun. How do the outer planets differ

8090 [49]

I believe the answer is D) and also there are technically 8 planets because Pluto was considered a dwarf planet so they dont consider it a planet at all
