From a branch 35 m high, a 0.75 kg bird dives into a small fish tank containing
Bad White [126]

Answer:

ΔT = 1.22*10^-3 °C

Explanation:

First, you calculate the potential energy of the bird when it is at 35 m high. The potential energy is also the mechanical energy of the bird in this case.

U=mgh

m: mass of the bird = 0.75kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

h: height = 35m

U=(0.75kg)(9.8m/s^2)(35m)=257.25\ J

All this energy is given to the water. You use the following formula in order to calculate the change in temperature:

Q=mc\Delta T

m: mass of the water = 50kg

c: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg°C

Q is equal to U (potential energy of the bird) because the bird gives all its energy to water. By doing ΔT the subject of the formula you obtain:

\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}=\frac{257.25J}{(50kg)(4186J/kg°C)}=1.22*10^{-3}\ \°C

hence, the maximum rise in temperature is 0.00122 °C

An airplane is flying horizontally with a constant momentum during a time interval ?t. (a) Is there a net impulse acting on the
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Airplane is flying with horizontally with a constant momentum during time interval \Delta t

Impulse is given by change in momentum, so there is no net impulse on the Plane because momentum is constant

(b) As there is no change in momentum therefore impulse of thrust and air drag is balanced i.e. both are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction
