The average car has a mass of about 1500 kg, and travels at about 30 m/s when it's on the highway; how much
kinetic energy does the average car have when driving at highway speed?

Arescue plane flying horizontally at spots a survivor in the ocean directly below and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. because of the shape of the parachute, it experiences insignificant horizontal air resistance. if the kit descends with a constant vertical acceleration of, how far away from the survivor will it hit the waves?

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg.k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.
