In North America, between 100 million and 1 billion birds die each year by crashing into windows on buildings, more than any other human-related cause. This figure represents up to 5% of all birds in the area. One possible solution is to construct windows angled downward slightly so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to a flying bird. An experiment by Klem et al. (2004) compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20 degrees off vertical, and windows angled 40 degrees off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal probability to six windows and changed daily; assume for this exercise that windows and window locations were identical in every respect except angle. Over the course of the experiment, 30 birds were killed by windows in the vertical orientation, 15 were killed by windows set at 20 degrees off vertical, and 8 were killed by windows set at 40 degrees off vertical. a. Clearly state an appropriate…
A bucket that weighs 4 lb and a rope of negligible weightare used to draw water from a well that is 80 ft deep. Thebucket is filled with 40 lb of water and is pulled up at a rateof 2 ft /s , but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rateof 0.2 lb / s . Find the work done in pulling the bucket to thetop of the well.
