Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 42 km/h wind is blowing from west to east.
a. at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head to travel directly southward relative to the ground?
b. How long will it take the goose to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? (Even on cloudy nights, many birds can navigate by using the earth’s magnetic field to fix the north-south direction.)

Assume that two of the electrons at the negative terminal have attached themselves to a nearby neutral atom. there is now a negative ion with a charge -2e at this terminal. what are the electric potential and electric potential energy of the negative ion relative to the electron? the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both twice as much. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is twice as much. the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron.

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3

Engines for propeller-driven aircraft are limited in their maximum rotational speed by the fact that the tip speed of the propeller must not approach the speed of sound in air (mach i). taking 6 ft as a typical diameter for a propeller of a light airplane and 1100 fils as the speed of sound, find the upper limit on the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the propeller shaft.

Water flows through a garden hose which is attached to a nozzle. the water flows through hose with a speed of 2.19 m/s and through the nozzle with a speed of 19.8 m/s. calculate the maximum height (in m) to which water could be squirted if it emerges from the nozzle and emerges with the nozzle removed.
