Hawks and gannets soar above the ground and, when they spot prey, they fold their wings and essentially drop like a stone. They

have evolved a highly aerodynamic shape that lets gravity build up their speed without having to make the effort of trying to fly at a high speed (See the figure of a diving hawk below. The technical term for this maneuver is "stooping".) For this problem, you may approximate the strength of the gravitational field as g = 10 N/kg.A. If a hawk is slowly soaring at a height of about 150 meters and spots a vole on the ground, folds its wings and begins its dive, with what speed will it be going when it gets to the ground? It's flight isn't powered: it just falls with an acceleration of ~10 m/s2. (Of course, it has to turn a bit above the ground in order not to crash. We will ignore this part of its flight path.)

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can utilize conservation of energy to solve this issue.

Initial condition Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final condition. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ (2gh)

Now let's perform the calculation

         v = √ (2 * 9.8 * 150)

         v = 54.2 m/s

Keith_Richards [3271]
Applying the formula of force equals mass times acceleration, and considering acceleration approximated as g at 10 m/s², the brick possessing the greater mass will hit the ground first due to its superior force that counteracts resistive forces like air resistance.

A cat accelerates from rest to 10m/s when it sees a dog. This takes 2 seconds. What was the acceleration of the cat
serg [3582]
The acceleration is calculated using the formula a= change in velocity/time. Here, it becomes A=10-0/2, simplifying to A=10/2, resulting in A=5 m/s².

The gas tank of Dave’s car has a capacity of 12 gallons. The tank was 38 full before Dave filled it to capacity. It cost him $2.
Sav [3153]

Answer:

$ 18.75

Explanation:

Given:

Dave's car has a capacity of 12 gallons.

If the tank is at 3/8 full prior to filling:

The cost of gasoline per gallon is $2.50.

The volume Dave needs to fill:

=1 - \dfrac{3}{8}

=\dfrac{5}{8} of full tank

=\dfrac{5}{8}\times 12

Dave must fill 7.5 gallons.

Total amount Dave will pay:

7.5 gallons x $2.50 =

$ 18.75

Thus, Dave will spend $ 18.75 to completely fill the tank.

The crossbar of a goal post on a professional American football field sits at a height of 3.05 meters (10 feet) above the field.
Sav [3153]

Answer:

A. Yes, the ball clears the crossbar by 2.83 meters

Explanation:

This situation pertains to projectile motion.

The horizontal velocity component of the ball is calculated as 26 cos 35 = 21.3 m/s

The vertical velocity component is 26 sin 35 = 14.9 m/s

The time taken to travel the horizontal distance to the goalpost, which is 54.9 m, is:

= distance / horizontal speed

= 54.9 / 21.3

= 2.577 seconds.

The vertical distance achieved during this time is:

h = ut - 1/2 gt², where u is the initial vertical velocity, and t = 2.577 seconds.

h = 14.9 x 2.577 - 0.5 x 9.8 x (2.577)²

= 38.39 - 32.54

= 5.85 m

Thus, the ball surpasses the crossbar by 5.85 - 3.05 = 2.8 m

A 75.0-kg person climbs stairs, gaining 2.50 meters in height. Find the work done to accomplish this task. 1.84 x 103 J
Yuliya22 [3333]
<span>The work done corresponds to the potential energy that the person acquires while ascending the stairs.
work = potential energy acquired = mgh
W = 75kg * 9.8m/s² * 2.50m = 1837.5 J</span>
