Many birds can attain very high speeds when diving. Using radar, scientists measured the altitude of a barn swallow in a vertical dive; it dropped 178 m in 3.0 s. The mass of the swallow was estimated to be 0.018 kg, and its cross-section area as 5.6×10−4 m^2. What was the drag coefficient for this swallow as it dove?

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change in the temperature t(t) of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the medium m(t) and the temperature of the body. that is, startfraction dt over dt endfraction equals upper k left bracket upper m left parenthesis t right parenthesis minus upper t left parenthesis t right parenthesis right bracket , where k is a constant. let kequals0.04 left parenthesis min right parenthesis superscript negative 1 and the temperature of the medium be constant, m(t) font size decreased by 3 equivalent font size decreased by 3 294 kelvins. if the body is initially at 369 kelvins, use euler's method with hequals0.1 min to approximate the temperature of the body after (a) 30 minutes and (b) 60 minutes.
