Answer:

hyoid bone

Explanation:

Woodpeckers have a special bone that acts like a seat-belt for its skull. It's called the hyoid bone, and it wraps all the way around a woodpecker's skull. Every time the bird pecks, the hyoid acts like a seat-belt for the bird's skull and the delicate brain it protects.

What is the energy (in J) stored in the 14.0 µF capacitor of a heart defibrillator charged to 6.90 ✕ 103 V?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The energy stored in the capacitor is 333.3 J

Explanation:

Energy stored in a capacitor = CV²/2

C = capacitance = 14 × 10⁻⁶F

V = 6.90 × 10³V

Energy = (14 × 10⁻⁶)(6.90 × 10³)²/2 = 333.27 = 333.3 J

A 5.00 kg rock whose density is 4300 kg/m3 is suspended by a string such that half of the rock's volume is under water. You may

12345 [234]

Answer:

The tension on the string is $T = 43.302 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rock is $m_r = 5.00 \ kg = 5000 \ g$

The density of the rock is $\rho = 4300 \ kg/m^3 = 4.3 g/dm^3$

Generally the volume of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

$V = \frac{m_r}{\rho}$

substituting values

$V = \frac{5000}{4.3}$

$V = 1162.7 \ dm^3$

The volume of the rock immersed in water is

$V_w = \frac{V}{2}$

substituting values

$V_w = \frac{1162.7 }{2}$

$V_w = 581.4 \ dm^3$

mass of water been displaced by the this volume is

$m_w = V_w$ According to Archimedes principle

=> $m_w = 581.4 \ g$

$m_w = 0.5814 \ kg$

The weight of the water displace is

$W _w = m_w * g$

$W _w = 0.5814 * 9.8$

$W _w = 5.698 \ N$

The actual weight of the rock is

$W_r = m_r * g$

$W_r = 5.0 * 9.8$

$W_r = 49.0 \ N$

The tension on the string is

$T = W_r - W_w$

substituting values

$T = 49.0 - 5.698$

$T = 43.302 \ N$

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

$\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m$

A projectile is launched at an angle of 30 and lands 20 s later at the same height as it was launched. (a) What is the initial s

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

(a) 196 m/s

(b) 490 m

(c) 3394.82 m

(d) 2572.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, let us know one thing. When an object is thrown in the air, it experiences two forces acting in two different directions, one in the horizontal direction called air resistance and the second in the vertically downward direction due to its weight. In most of the cases, while solving numerical problems, air resistance is neglected unless stated in the numerical problem. This means we can assume zero acceleration along the horizontal direction.

Now, while solving our numerical problem, we will discuss motion along two axes according to our convenience in the course of solving this problem.

<u>Given:</u>

Time of flight = t = 20 s
Angle of the initial velocity of projectile with the horizontal = $\theta = 30^\circ$

<u>Assume:</u>

Initial velocity of the projectile = u
R = Range of the projectile during the time of flight
H = maximum height of the projectile
D = displacement of the projectile from the initial position at t = 15 s

Let us assume that the position from where the projectile was projected lies at origin.

Initial horizontal velocity of the projectile = $u\cos \theta$
Initial horizontal velocity of the projectile = $u\sin \theta$

Part (a):

During the time of flight the displacement of the projectile along the vertical is zero as it comes to the same vertical height from where it was projected.

$\therefore u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow u\sin \theta t=\dfrac{1}{2}(g)t^2\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{gt^2}{2\sin \theta t}\\\Rightarrow u=\dfrac{9.8\times 20^2}{2\sin 30^\circ \times 20}\\\Rightarrow u=196\ m/s$

Hence, the initial speed of the projectile is 196 m/s.

Part (b):

For a projectile, the time take by it to reach its maximum height is equal to return from the maximum height to its initial height is the same.

So, time taken to reach its maximum height will be equal to 10 s.

And during the upward motion of this time interval, the distance travel along the vertical will give us maximum height.

$\therefore H = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow H = 196\times \sin 30^\circ \times 10 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times(-9.8)\times 10^2\\ \Rightarrow H =490\ m$

Hence, the maximum altitude is 490 m.

Part (c):

Range is the horizontal displacement of the projectile from the initial position. As acceleration is zero along the horizontal, the projectile is in uniform motion along the horizontal direction.

So, the range is given by:

$R = u\cos \theta t\\\Rightarrow R = 196\times \cos 30^\circ \times 20\\\Rightarrow R =3394.82\ m$

Hence, the range of the projectile is 3394.82 m.

Part (d):

In order to calculate the displacement of the projectile from its initial position, we first will have to find out the height of the projectile and its range during 15 s.

$\therefore h = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow h = 196\times \sin 30^\circ \times 15 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times(-9.8)\times 15^2\\ \Rightarrow h =367.5\ m\\r = u\cos \theta t\\\Rightarrow r = 196\times \cos 30^\circ \times 15\\\Rightarrow r =2546.11\ m\\\therefore D = \sqrt{r^2+h^2}\\\Rightarrow D = \sqrt{2546.11^2+367.5^2}\\\Rightarrow D =2572.5\ m$

Hence, the displacement from the point of launch to the position on its trajectory at 15 s is 2572.5 m.
