Answer:

<em>6.77m/s</em>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the object

u1 and u2 are the velocities before collision

v is the final collision

Given

m1 = 300g  = 0.3kg

u1 = 6.0m/s

m2 = 10g = 0.01kg

u2 = 30m/s

Required

The bird's speed immediately after swallowing v

Substitute the given values into the formula

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.3(6) + 0.01(30) = (0.3+0.01)v

1.8+0.3 = 0.31v

2.1 = 0.31v

v = 2.1/0.31

<em>v = 6.77m/s</em>

<em>Hence the bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 6.77m/s</em>

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Question 8 a-e plz
N76 [4]

Answer:

(a) t = 0 s

(b) t = 0 s, 30 s, 55 s

(c) t = 40 s to t = 60 s

(d) t = 10 s to t = 15 s

(e) a = 6 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) The car is at starting position at t = 0 s and v = 0 m/s.

(b) The velocity of car is zero when the time is t = 0 s, 30 s and 55 s.

(c) from t = 40 s to 60 s the car is moving in the negative direction.

(d) The fastest speed is 60m/s from t = 10 s to t = 15 s.

(e) The slope of the velocity time graph gives acceleration.

a = (60 - 0) / (10 - 0) = 6 m/s^2
