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

4. A cylindrical tube has a length of 14.4cm and a radius of 1.5cm and is filled with a colorless gas. If the density of the gas
serg [3582]
The mass, m, of the gas amounts to 0.2504 grams. Explanation: First, we need to calculate the cylindrical tube's volume. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by; where V indicates volume, π signifies pi, r represents the radius, and h indicates height or length. Given the following parameters: Radius, r = 1.5 cm, Length, h = 14.4 cm, Density, d = 0.00123 g/cm³. Plugging these into the equation, the volume of the cylindrical tube calculates to be 203.6016 cm³. Density can be defined as mass divided by the volume of an object. Simply put, density is mass per unit volume. Mathematically, density is represented by the formula; by substituting into the equation, we conclude that Mass = 0.2504 g.

ValentinkaMS [3465]
We will utilize Wien's displacement law, given by the equation λ T = b, where λ represents the wavelength of emitted light from a heated object at maximum. By substituting the provided temperature and constant b into the equation, we find λ for various temperatures: at 500 K, λ = 5.796 μm or 5796 nm; at 1050 K, λ = 2760 nm; at 1800 K, λ = 1610 nm; and at 2500 K, λ = 1159.2 nm. The visible light spectrum starts at 740 nm, suggesting that at 2500 K, some visible red light may emerge as its calculated peak wavelength is within the visible range.

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

0.000047N

Explanation:

We know that

intensity (I) = P/ A

Where

P= power

A= Area

Thus, the power absorbed can be calculated as:

Power = Intensity x Area

This equals = 1.4 x 10^3 x(10)

Thus,

14000 Watts = 14 kWatt

However, the radiation pressure can be defined as

time-averaged intensity divided by the speed of light in a vacuum

So,

P = (1.4 x 1000)/c

Also,

F= P x A

Thus,

((1.4 x 1000)/(3 x10^8)) x 10

This results in

=0.000046666N

Rounded to two significant figures gives us

=0.000047 N
