A student is about to launch a 0.1kg rock from a sling shot as shown. The natural length of the spring is shown in the insert. The initial time is defined as just before the launch when the student has pulled the rock backwards and is holding the rock at rest with a 83N force (note that the natural and stretched total band lengths are shown). The final time is defined immediately after the launch. Neglect loss.

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.

After a big snowfall, you take your favorite rocket-powered sled out to a wide field. the field is 195 m across, and you know that your sled accelerates at a rate of 3.65 m/s2 when the rocket is on. how much time will it take the sled to cross the field starting from rest, assuming the rocket is on the whole time?
