Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/sm/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate

of 3.70 WW (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird). Assume that the bird consumes 4.00g4.00g of fat to fly over a distance dbdbd_b without stopping for feeding. How far will the bird fly before feeding again

Answer:

Part A: 455 km

Part B: 8.95 g

Part C: 3.11 g

Explanation:

A: Calculate distance by converting grams of fat to Joules, then using the equations t=W/P and d=v*t.

B: Calculate grams of carbohydrates by the same method.

C: Calculate grams of fat by the same method.

Answer:

455165.278 m

Explanation:

P = Power = 3.7 W

v = Velocity = 10.7 m/s

Amount of fat = 4 g

1 gram of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories

Energy given by 4 g of fat

$E=4\times 9.4\times 4186\\\Rightarrow E=157393.6\ J$

Time required to burn the fat

$t=\dfrac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{157393.6}{3.7}\\\Rightarrow t=42538.811\ s$

Distance traveled by the bird

$s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=10.7\times 42538.811\\\Rightarrow s=455165.2777\ m$

The bird will fly 455165.278 m

A car drives toward the right over the top of a hill, as shown below. An illustration of car at the top of a hill pointing right

Sav [38]

Answer: X

Explanation:

This situation can be illustrated as a car in circular motion (image attached).

In circular motion the acceleration vector $\vec{a}$ is always directed toward the center of the circumference (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

So, in this case the arrow labeled X is the only that points toward the center, hence it represents the car's centripetal acceleration

"A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water. What is the buoyant force on the block due to the water? The density of

Alja [10]

Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B = 40-30= 10 N

therefore, buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Consider a star that is a sphere with a radius of 6.32 108 m and an average surface temperature of 5350 K. Determine the amount

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The value is $\Delta s = 8.537 *10^{25 } \ J/K$

Explanation:

From the we are told that

The radius of the sphere is $r = 6.32 *10^{8} \ m$

The temperature is $T_x = 5350 \ K$

The average temperature of the rest of the universe is $T_r = 2.73 \ K$

Generally the change in entropy of the entire universe per second is mathematically represented as

$\Delta s = s_r - s_x$

Here $s_r$ is the entropy of the rest of the universe which is mathematically represented as

$s_r = \frac{Q}{T_r}$

Here Q is the quantity of heat radiated by the star which is mathematically represented as

$Q = 4 \pi * r^2 * \sigma * T^4_x$

Here $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant with value

$\sigma = 5.67 * 10^{-8 }W\cdot m^{-2} \cdot K^{-4}.$

=> $Q = 4 \pi * (6.32*10^{8})^2 * 5.67 * 10^{-8 } * 5350 ^4$

=> $Q = 2.332 *10^{26} \ J$

So

$s_r = \frac{2.332 *10^{26}}{2.73}$

=> $s_r = 8.5415 *10^{25}\ J/K$

Here $s_x$ is the entropy of the rest of the universe which is mathematically represented as

$s_x = \frac{Q}{T_x}$

=> $s_x = \frac{2.332 *10^{26} }{5350}$

=> $s_x = 4.359 *10^{22} \ J/K$

So

$\Delta s = 8.5415 *10^{25} - 4.359 *10^{22}$

=> $\Delta s = 8.537 *10^{25 } \ J/K$
