The eagle momentum : 320 kg.m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 32 kg

d = 100 m

t = 10 s

Required

The momentum

Solution

The velocity of the eagle :

$\tt v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{100}{10}=10~m/s$

The momentum (P) :

$\tt P=m\times v\\\\P=32\times 10\\\\P=320~kg.m/s$

4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man

Cloud [144]

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

$F=mg$

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.

At the Earth's surface, warm air expands and rises, creating
what is known as an area of low pressure.

Cold air is dense and sinks to the surface to create what is
known as an area of high pressure.</span>

You set your stationary bike on a high 80-N friction-like resistive force and cycle for 30 min at a speed of 8.0 m/s . Your body

stellarik [79]

A) The change in internal chemical energy is $1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

B) The time needed is 1 minute

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the power output of you and the bike, given by:

$P=Fv$

where

F = 80 N is the force that must be applied in order to overcome friction and travel at constant speed

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$P=(80)(8.0)=640 W$

The energy output is related to the power by the equation

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where:

P = 640 W is the power output

E is the energy output

$t = 30 min \cdot 60 = 1800 s$ is the time elapsed

Solving for E,

$E=Pt=(640)(1800)=1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

Since the body is 10% efficient at converting chemical energy into mechanical work (which is the output energy), this means that the change in internal chemical energy is given by

$\Delta E = \frac{E}{0.10}=\frac{1.15\cdot 10^6}{0.10}=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

From the previous part, we found that in a time of

t = 30 min

the amount of internal chemical energy converted is

$E=1.15\cdot 10^7 J$

Here we want to find the time t' needed to convert an amount of chemical energy of

$E'=3.8\cdot 10^5 J$

So we can setup the following proportion:

$\frac{t}{E}=\frac{t'}{E'}$

And solving for t',

$t'=\frac{E't}{E}=\frac{(3.8\cdot 10^5)(30)}{1.15\cdot 10^7}=1 min$

A pendulum is swinging back and forth with a period of 2.0 seconds here on Earth. This pendulum is then brought to the Moon. Wha

LenKa [72]

Answer: The period of the pendulum will increase. Because of less gravity

Explanation:

Since the force of gravity is less on the Moon, the pendulum would swing slower at the same length and angle and its frequency would be less. Hence more time period will be experienced by the pendulum. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity g is less when compared to that of the earth.
