The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu

e of this force due to the air? Note that the bird's weight, the force of gravity acting on it, is calculated using w=mg, a result that will be justified in Chapter 5.

Answer:

The greatest force is F = mg.

Explanation:

Applying Newton’s second law:

      Σ F = m a

(Vectors are in bold, and we analyze components along x and y axes.)

 Along the x-axis:

      Fₓ = maₓ

 Along the y-axis:

      F_y - W = m a_y a_{y}

In this scenario, where the bird remains level, the wing force acts at an angle to the x-axis. The vertical component creates lift. Using trigonometry, the components are:

      Cos θ = Fₓ / F    ⇒  Fₓ = F cos θ

      Sin θ = F_y / F    ⇒  F_y = F sin θ

Substituting into the vertical force equation:

      F sin θ - w = m a_y

Since the bird is hovering at the same height, vertical acceleration is zero (a_y = 0):

      F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum lift occurs when sin θ = 1, thus:

      F = mg

A bus slows down uniformly from 75.0 km/h to 0 km/h in 21 s. How far does it travel before stopping?
Yuliya22 [3333]

1 hour = 3,600 seconds
1 km = 1,000 meters

75 km/hour = (75,000/3,600) m/s = 20-5/6 m/s

The mean speed during the deceleration is

                                   (1/2)(20-5/6 + 0) = 10-5/12 m/s.

Traveling at this average speed for 21 seconds,
the bus covers

                        (10-5/12) × (21) = 218.75 meters.

50 POINTS! A Boy throws a ball horizontally a distance of 22m downrange from the top of a tower that is 20.0m tall. What is his
Softa [3030]

At time t, the ball's horizontal and vertical velocities can be represented as

v_x=v_{xi}

v_y=v_{yi}-gt

However, since the ball is thrown horizontally, we have v_{yi}=0. The horizontal and vertical positions at time t are

x=v_{xi}t

y=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball travels a distance of 22 m horizontally from the throw point, thus

22\,\mathrm m=v_{xi}t

With this, we determine that the time for the ball to reach the ground is

t=\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}

When it touches down, y=0 and

0=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac{9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}2\left(\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}\right)^2

\implies v_i=v_{xi}=11\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Which statements describe properties of stars check all that apply
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

Stars generate energy by the process of nuclear fusion.

They are large entities composed of gaseous elements.

The main constituents of stars are hydrogen and helium.

Explanation:

Stars are colossal objects with extensive gravitational forces causing them to contract, which allows fusion to take place: the atomic nuclei in the star's core are drawn very close together due to gravity and elevated temperatures, leading to the fusion reaction. This fusion serves as the energy output for a star.

Conversely, it is true that stars predominantly consist of hydrogen and helium (two hydrogen nuclei can fuse to become helium), which implies that a star is essentially an enormous ball of gas without a solid surface suitable for standing on.

As for the presence of water on a star, it is simply impossible. The extreme temperatures found in stars are far too high for water to exist in any liquid state on their surfaces.

serg [3582]
1) The initial velocity is zero. 2) We consider the downward direction as positive.
3) h = 25.66 m.
Explanation:
This is a problem of free fall.
1) In free fall, the initial velocity starts at zero, and acceleration remains constant throughout, equal to gravity.
2) It's common to choose downward as the positive direction.
3) For the latter part of the fall:
y₀ - y = h/2 when t = 1 s,
y = y₀ + v₁ t + ½ g t²,
with v₁ being the initial velocity at height h / 2,
v₁ t = (y - y₀) - ½ g t².
v₁ = h / 2 - ½ g t².
Now, let's set up the first interval equation:
v₁² = v₀² + 2 g (y₁ - y₀).
Since in this case v₀ = 0,
v₁² = 2 g (y₁ - y₀) = 2g h/2.
Next, our equations become:
v₁² = (h/2 - g/2)² and v₁² = (2g h / 2).
Thus, solving the quadratic equation leads to:
h² - 3 g h + g² = 0, which simplifies to h² - 29.4 h + 96.04 = 0.
Finally, solving this yields h = 25.66 m as the height.
