A 1.45 kg falcon catches a 0.515 kg dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity after impact if the falcon's velocity is

initially 26.5 m/s and the dove's velocity is 4.95 m/s in the same direction?

Answer:

Their velocity after the impact is 20.85 m/s.                            

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of falcon, m_1=1.45\ kg

Mass of dove, m_2=0.515\ kg

Initial speed of the falcon, u_1=26.5\ m/s

Initial speed of the dove, u_2=4.95\ m/s

We need to find the final velocity after the impact. When the falcon catches the dove, it will becomes the case of inelastic collision. The conservation of momentum will be :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.45\times 26.5+0.515\times 4.95}{(1.45+0.515)}\\\\V=20.85\ m/s

So, their velocity after the impact is 20.85 m/s.

Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

a torch bulb is rated 2.5V and 750mA. Calculate its power,its resistance and the energy consumed if this bulb lighted for 4 hour
Hatshy [7]
Using Ohm's Law, we can derived from this the value of resistance. If I=V/R, therefore, R = V/I
Substituting the values to the given, 
P = Power = ?
R = Resistance = ?
V = Voltage = 2.5 V
I = Current = 750 mA

R = V/I = 2.5/ (750 x 10^-3)
R = 3.33 ohms

Calculating the power, we have P = IV

P = (750 x 10^-3)(2.5) 
P = 1.875 W

The power consumption is the power consumed multiply by the number of hours. In here, we have;
1.875W x 4 hours = 7.5 watt-hours

solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Is v2 = v1t+a dimensionally correct? Explain please!
Lady bird [3.3K]
You want v2 = v1 + at
v is measured in m/s, a in m/s2, and t in s.
the dimensions multiply like algebraic quantities. 
so because v2 is measured in m/s, then (v1 + at) has to come out in m/s
 the units for (v1 + at) are (m/s) + (m/s2)(s)
time "s" cancels out one acceleration "s", so it comes ut to (m/s) + (m/s), which = (m/s). 
if you had (v1t + a), then you would have (m/s)(s) + (m/s2) which = (m) + (m/s2), which doesn't work.
