Birds cause a lot of damage to airplanes every year. To study this problem, the U. S. Air Force invented a chicken cannon. Air Force scientists use the cannon to shoot chicken bodies at airplanes in controlled tests. Then they analyze the damage the chicken bodies caused. Evaluate this model. In what way do you think it is helpful? What are some of its limitations?

In the circuit, the switch s has been open for a long time and r = 125 kohm. it is then suddenly closed. (a) determine the time constant before the switch is closed. s (b) determine the time constant after the switch is closed. _ s (c) let the switch be closed at t = 0. find the current in the switch as a function of time. (use t for time. express your answer in milliamps and seconds.) i(t) =_
