regrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impac

solmaris [256]

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ before the collision must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ after the collision:

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (1)

Being:

$p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}$

$p_{f}=(M+m) V$

Where:

$M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg$ the mas of the peregrine falcon

$V_{i}=45 m/s$ the initial speed of the falcon

$m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg$ is the mass of the pigeon

$U_{i}=0 m/s$ the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

$V$ the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

$MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V$ (2)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m}$ (3)

$V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg}$ (4)

$V=30 m/s$ (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (6)

Where:

$F$ is the force exerted on the pigeon

$\Delta t=0.015 s$ is the time

$\Delta p$ is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

$\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i}$ (7)

$\Delta p=mV$ (8) Since $U_{i}=0$

Substituting (8) in (6):

$F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t}$ (9)

$F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s}$ (10)

Finally:

$F=480 N$

A 12,000kg. railroad car is traveling at +2m/s when it

ivann1987 [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The final velocity of the two railroad cars is 1.09 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since we are given that the two cars lock together it shows that the collision is inelastic in nature. The final velocity due to inelastic collision is given by

$\mathrm{V}=\frac{V 1 M 1+V 2 M 2}{M 1+M 2}$

where

V= Final velocity

M1= mass of the first object in kgs = 12000

M2= mas of the second object in kgs = 10000

V1= initial velocity of the first object in m/s = 2m/s

V2= initial velocity of the second object in m/s = 0 (given at rest)

Substituting the given values in the formula we get

V = 2×12000 + 0x100012000 + 10000= 2400022000= 1.09 m/s

$\mathrm{V}=\frac{2 \times 1200+0 \times 1000}{12000+10000}=\frac{24000}{22000}=1.09 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

Which is the final velocity of the two railroad cars

As the wavelength of light decreases,<br> What happens

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Waves. Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light. ... The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

Explanation:

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. ... Mechanical and electromagnetic waves with long wavelengths contain less energy than waves with short wavelengths.
