| 1 | [katex] \text{Work done} = F \cdot d [/katex] | The bird does work against gravity, and work is defined as the force multiplied by the displacement in the direction of the force. |
| 2 | [katex] F = m (g + a) [/katex] | Calculate the total force exerted by the bird. [katex] F_{bird} \,-\, mg = ma [/katex]. This includes gravitational force ([katex]mg[/katex]), where [katex]m[/katex] is the mass, [katex]g[/katex] is the acceleration due to gravity (approx. [katex]9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2[/katex]), and [katex]a[/katex] is the net acceleration of the bird. Solve and simplify the force equation. |
| 3 | [katex] F = 0.021 \, \text{kg} \times (9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 + 0.625 \, \text{m/s}^2) [/katex] | Substitute the values for [katex]m[/katex], [katex]g[/katex], and [katex]a[/katex] into the total force equation to determine the force the bird must exert to ascend. |
| 4 | [katex] F = 0.021 \, \text{kg} \times 10.425 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 0.218925 \, \text{N} [/katex] | Calculate the value of the force. |
| 5 | [katex] d = \frac{\text{Work done}}{F} = \frac{0.36 \, \text{J}}{0.218925 \, \text{N}} [/katex] | To find the displacement [katex]d[/katex], which is how far up the bird moves, divide the work done by the force. |
| 6 | [katex] \boxed{d \approx 1.64 \, \text{m}} [/katex] | Calculate and approximate the displacement for clarity. The bird moves approximately 1.64 meters upwards. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A ski lift carries skiers along a 695 meter slope inclined at 34°. To lift a single rider, it is necessary to move 72 kg of mass to the top of the lift. Under maximum load conditions, five riders per minute arrive at the top. If 65 percent of the energy supplied by the motor goes to overcoming friction, what average power must the motor supply?
A \( 0.20 \) \( \text{kg} \) object moves along a straight line. The net force acting on the object varies with the object’s displacement as shown in the graph above. The object starts from rest at displacement \( x = 0 \) and time \( t = 0 \) and is displaced a distance of \( 20 \) \( \text{m} \). Determine each of the following.
A \( 0.30 \text{-kg} \) mass is suspended on a spring. In equilibrium the mass stretches the spring \( 2.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) downward. The mass is then pulled an additional distance of \( 1.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) down and released from rest. Write down its equation of motion.
The two blocks of masses \( M \) and \( 2M \) travel at the same speed \( v \) but in opposite directions. They collide and stick together. How much mechanical energy is lost to other forms of energy during the collision?
A simple pendulum consists of a bob of mass 1.8 kg attached to a string of length 2.3 m. The pendulum is held at an angle of 30° from the vertical by a light horizontal string attached to a wall, as shown above.

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.Â
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
