Answer:

Change in its velocity divided by the change in time

Explanation:

the equation for average acceleration (a) = (vf-vi)/t

a = (velocity final - velocity initial) / change in time

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:

$F=480 N$

what is the mechanical advantage of a crowbar when a worker uses 10N of force to pry open a window that has a resistance of 500N

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is given by

$MA=\frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}$

where

$F_{out}$ is the output force

$F_{in}$ is the input force

For the crowbar in this problem,

$F_{in}=10 N$ is the force in input applied by the worker

$F_{out}=500 N$ is the force that the machine must apply in output to overcome the resistance of the window and to open it

Substituting into the equation, we find

$MA=\frac{500}{10}=50$

Calculate the net force on the right charge due to the other two. Enter a positive value if the force is directed to the right a

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Answer:

A. - 0.017N. It acts to the left.

B. - 0.043N. It acts to the left.

C. 0.060N. It acts to the right.

Explanation:

A. For the +65μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the two other charges are on the +x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [KQ(1)Q(2)]/(r^2) + [KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2)

Where K = Coloumbs constant =

Q(1) = charge on the leftmost side.

Q(2) = charge in the middle.

Q(3) = charge on the rightmost side.

F = [(8.988 × 10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(48×10^-6)]/(40^2) + [(8.988 × 10^9)×(-95×10^-6)×(65×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = 0.01753 - 0.03469

F = -0.017N

It has a negative sign, hence, it acts to the left.

B. For the +48μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the leftmost charge is on the - x axis and the rightmost charge is on the +x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [-KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2) + [KQ(2)Q(3)]/(r^2)

F = [-(8.988×10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(48×10^-6)]/(40^2) + [(8.988 × 10^9)×(48×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = -0.017 - 0.02562

F = - 0.043N

It has a negative sign, hence, it acts to the left.

C. For the -95μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the two other charges are on the - x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [-KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2) - [KQ(2)Q(3)]/(r^2)

F = [-(8.988×10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2) - [(8.988 × 10^9)×(48×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = +0.03469 + 0.02562

F = +0.060N

It has a positive sign, hence, it acts to the right.

a runner covers the last straigjt stretch of a race in 4 s. during that time, he speeds up from 5m/s to 9m/s.

PtichkaEL [24]

During that final period of time,
his acceleration is
(9 m/s - 5 m/s) / (4 sec) = 1 m/s² .
