Many birds can attain very high speeds when diving. Using radar, scientists measured the altitude of a barn swallow in a vertica

l dive; it dropped 208 m in 3.0 s. The mass of the swallow was estimated to be 0.018 kg, and its cross-section area as 5.6×10−4m2. What was the drag coefficient for this swallow as it dove?

A spring is stretched 6 in by a mass that weighs 8 lb. The mass is attached to a dashpot mechanism that has a damping constant o
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

Explanation:

To find mass m=weighs/g

  m=8/32=0.25

To find the spring constant

Kx=mg    (given that c=6 in and mg=8 lb)

K(0.5)=8               (6 in=0.5 ft)

K=16 lb/ft

We know that equation for spring mass system

my''+Cy'+Ky=F  

now by putting the values

0.25 y"+0.25 y'+16 y=4 cos 20 t  ----(1) (given that C=0.25 lb.s/ft)

Lets assume that at steady state the equation of y will be

y=A cos 2t+ B sin 2t

To find the constant A and B we have to compare this equation with equation 1.

Now find y' and y" (by differentiate with respect to t)

y'= -2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t

y"=-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t

Now put the values of y" , y' and y in equation 1

0.25 (-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t)+0.25(-2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t)+16(A cos 2t+ B sin 2t)=4 cos 20 t

So by comparing the coefficient both sides

30 A+ B=8

A-30 B=0

So we get

A=240/901 and B=8/901

So the steady state response

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

A plane has an average air speed (this is the speed the plane moves through air) of 750 mph. The plane flies a route of 5000 mil
Digiron [165]

Answer:

6 hours 15 minutes

Explanation:

On the trip from L.A. to London, the plane travels at 750 mph against a headwind of 50 mph, and that makes the net 700 mph (in aviation speak, 750 is the airspeed, while 700 is the groundspeed).  5000 miles divided by 700 mph results in about 7.14 hours, or about 7 hours and 9 minutes.  On the return trip, ASSUMING THE SAME WIND, the plane travels at 750 mph, but this time the wind of 50 mph is a tail wind.  So the net (groundspeed) is 800 mph.  Traveling 5000 miles at 800 mph only takes 6.25 hours, or 6 hours and 15 minutes.  

Outbound flight 7 hours 9 minutes

Return flight 6 hours 15 minutes
