Answer:
The velocity of the bird is [tex]v_f = 4.87 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bird is [tex]m_1 = 300 \ g = 0.3 \ kg[/tex]
The initial speed of the bird is [tex]u_1 = 6.2 \ m/s[/tex]
The mass of the insect is [tex]m_2 = 10 \ g = 0.01 \ kg[/tex]
The speed of the insect is [tex]u_ 2 =-35 \ m/s[/tex]
The negative sign is because it is moving in opposite direction to the bird
According to the principle of linear momentum conservation
[tex]m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2 )v_f[/tex]
substituting values
[tex](0.3 * 6.2 ) + (0.01 * (-35)) = (0.3 + 0.01 )v_f[/tex]
[tex]1.51 = 0.31 v_f[/tex]
[tex]v_f = 4.87 \ m/s[/tex]
The Final velocity of Bird = 4.87 m/s
Mass of the bird = 300 g = 0.3 kg
Velocity of bird = 6.2 m/s
Momentum of Bird = Mass of bird [tex]\times[/tex] Velocity of Bird = 0.3 [tex]\times[/tex] 6.2 = 1.86 kgm/s
Mass of the insect = 10 g = 0.01 kg
Velocity of insect = - 35 m/s
Momentum of the Insect = Mass of Insect [tex]\times[/tex] Velocity of Insect = - 0.35 kgm/s
According to the law of conservation of momentum We can write that
In the absence of external forces on the system , the momentum of system remains conserved in that particular direction.
The bird opens the mouth and enjoys the free lunch hence
Let the final velocity of bird is [tex]v_f[/tex]
Initial momentum of the system = Final momentum of the system
1.86 -0.35 = [tex]v_f[/tex] ( 0.01 + 0.3 )
1.51 = [tex]v_f[/tex] 0.31
[tex]v_f[/tex] = 4.87 m/s
The Final velocity of Bird = 4.87 m/s
