The 45-g Wood Thrush migrates every spring from Central America to the United States to breed. The bird leaves its winter home in Belize and travels 1422 km across the Gulf of Mexico to Louisiana. It then flies an additional 1343 km to reach
Virginia, where it spends the summer. The trip takes approximately 171 hours, flying mostly at night.
What is the average speed of the Wood Thrush?

Which lists the main components of darwin’s theory of evolution? a. random mutations drive evolution; the evolution of a population happens slowly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms do not change. b. natural selection drives evolution; the evolution of a population happens slowly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms change over time. c. natural selection drives evolution; the evolution of a population happens rapidly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms change over time. d. random mutations drive evolution; the evolution of a population happens rapidly; organisms have common ancestors; organisms do not change.

Part f - example: finding two forces (part i) two dimensional dynamics often involves solving for two unknown quantities in two separate equations describing the total force. the block in (figure 1) has a mass m=10kg and is being pulled by a force f on a table with coefficient of static friction îľs=0.3. four forces act on it: the applied force f (directed î¸=30â above the horizontal). the force of gravity fg=mg (directly down, where g=9.8m/s2). the normal force n (directly up). the force of static friction fs (directly left, opposing any potential motion). if we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=îľsn), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as: fcosî¸â’îľsn=0 fsinî¸+nâ’mg=0 in order to find the magnitude of force f, we have to solve a system of two equations with both f and the normal force n unknown. use the methods we have learned to find an expression for f in terms of m, g, î¸, and îľs (no n).

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?
