A bird takes off from the tree and after 5 s is flying at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate
Volgvan

Answer:

10miles/second

Explanation:

Change in velocity of the bird is expressed as the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity of the body.

Change in velocity = Final velocity - initial velocity

Since the bird takes off from the tree, the initial velocity of the bird = 0miles/sec

Final velocity = 10miles/secs

Change in velocity = 10-0

Change in velocity = 10miles/second

What is the significance of a standard system of measurement?
dimulka [17.4K]

Because scientists all over the world are working together, looking for answers to the same questions, just as much as if they all worked in the same physical laboratory in the same building.  They need a way to share data and experimental results in a form that everyone can understand. ( D )

Let's say I perform an experiment and get very exciting results. I'm a good scientist, so the next thing I want to do is to publish a complete description of how I did my experiment, and include all of my results.  That way, scientists around the world can read about what I did, they can find any mistakes that I made, and they can even repeat my experiment for themselves and see if they get the same results.

Now let's say that my results looked like this:

Result #1). 

The reaction stabilized when it reached the rate of 1.26 briligs per tove.

Result #2).

After running at that constant rate for 35 toves, a pile of product was produced whose mass was exactly 61.284 wibbles.

Result #3).

When the pile of product was allowed to settle for another 20 toves, it had spread out, and covered an area of 14.907 square filks.

Do YOU understand my results ?

All those other scientists would have a tough time trying to decide whether my results made sense.  And if they repeated my experiment, they would have no way to tell whether their results matched mine or not.

Without a standard system of measurement, and units that mean the same thing to everybody, us scientists literally could not communicate.

An elevator (mass 4100 kg) is to be designed so that the maximum acceleration is 0.0400g. what is the maximum force the motor sh
melomori [17]

Answer:

The maximum force on the supporting cable is 80688 N.

The minimum force on the supporting cable is -164 N.

Explanation:

For maximum force movement of elevator is in upward direction. Thus, equation of motion is given by,

ma = T - mg

where m is the mass of elevator

a is acceleration of elevator

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the maximum tension in the supporting cable

T = ma + mg

T = m (a + g)

T = 4100 ( 0.04g + 9.8)

T = 80688 N

This is the maximum force on the supporting cable.

For minimum force movement of elevator is in downward direction. Thus, equation of motion is given by,

ma = T - mg

where m is the mass of elevator

a= -0.04g is acceleration of elevator because elevator is moving downward

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the minimum tension in the supporting cable

T = ma + mg

T = m (a + g)

T = 4100 ( 9.8 - 0.04g)

T = -164 N

This is the minimum force on the supporting cable.

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it
marusya05 [52]
First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
v=\lambda f
where
v is the wave speed
\lambda its wavelength
f its frequency
Using \lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m and f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz, we get
v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m
