The peregrine falcon is the world's fastest known bird and has been clocked diving downward toward its prey at constant vertical

velocity of 97.2 m/s. If the falcon dives straight down from a height of 100. m, how much time does this give a rabbit below to consider his next move as the falcon begins his descent?

100m / 97.2m/s = 1.0288 seconds

Answer:

Time, t = 1.02 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity of bird, v = 97.2 m/s

If the falcon dives straight down from a height of 100 m, d = 100 m

We need to find the time this give a rabbit below to consider his next move as the falcon begins his descent. Time can be calculated as :

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{100\ m}{97.2\ m/s}$

t = 1.02 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply Boyle's law in which it is specified that

$P_1V_1 =P_2 V_2$

Where,

$P_1$ and $V_1$ are the initial pressure and volume values

$P_2$ and $V_2$ are the final pressure volume values

The final pressure here is the atmosphere, then

$P_2 = 101325 \approx 1*10^5Pa$

$h = 10m$

$\rho_w = 1000kg/m^3$

$V_1 = 3.0L$

Pressure at the water is given by,

$P_1 = P_2 -\rho gh$

$P_1 = 1*10^5 +1000*9.8*10 =198000Pa$

Using Boyle equation we have,

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

$V_2 = \frac{198000*3*10^5}{10^5}$

$V_2 = 5.9L$

Therefore the volume of the lungs at the surface is 5.9L

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J

Every winter I fly home to Chicago. It takes 3 hours. What is my average speed?

Tanya [424]

It depends on where you live when you're not visiting Chicago. We need to know the distance of the trip.

Your average speed on the trip is . . .

(total distance in miles) / (3 hours)

miles per hour

An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6.0 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.40 m. What is the average angular accele

leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}$

Here

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}$

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

$v = r\omega$

Here,

r = Radius

$\omega$ = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}}$

$\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow$ Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

$\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}$

$\alpha = 25 rad /s^2$

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is $25rad/s^2$
