Flapping flight is very energy intensive. A wind tunnel test

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg

1 kg=1000 g

Power, P=12 W

Speed, v=11 m/s

We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.

We know that

Metabolic power for starting flight= $\frac{P}{m}$

Using the formula

Metabolic power for starting flight= $\frac{12}{0.089}$

Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r; system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r; system C has mas

Anna [14]

Answer:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two masses m1, m2 separated by a distance r is given by:

$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant. Let's apply this formula to each case now to calculate the relative force for each system:

System A has masses m and m separated by a distance r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot m}{r^2}=G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system B has masses m and 2m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{m \cdot 2m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{2m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{1}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system C has masses 2m and 3m separated by a distance 2r:

$F=G\frac{2m \cdot 3m}{(2r)^2}=G \frac{6m^2}{4r^2}=\frac{3}{2} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

system D has masses 4m and 5m separated by a distance 3r:

$F=G\frac{4m \cdot 5m}{(3r)^2}=G \frac{20m^2}{9r^2}=\frac{20}{9} G \frac{m^2}{r^2}$

Now, by looking at the 4 different forces, we can rank them from the greatest to the smallest force, and we find:

System D --> System C --> System A --> System B

A 10 kg block is attached to a light cord that is wrapped around the pulley of an electric motor, as shown above. At what rate i

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

the work done by the motor is 531,45 Joules

Explanation:

Using a sketch of the possible conditions, we need to find the distance that the block was moved, in order to find the work done by the electrical motor.

The sketch could be seen in the attached image.
