A free-fall parachutist eventually reaches a top speed where air resistance prevents further acceleration. What name is given to this ‘top speed'?

Answers

Answer 1

The name given to it is "terminal velocity".

In reality, it isn't a velocity, and it doesn't happen in free-fall.

Go figure.

Define second class lever​

Answers

Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).

1) Un cuerpo se mueve desacelerando a razón de 8m/s2, calcula: a) La velocidad que tenía 5 segundos antes de detenerse. b) La distancia recorrida los últimos 5 segundos de su trayectoria.

Answers

Answer:

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance travel in last 5 seconds = 100 m

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration (a) = 8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Find;

1] Initial velocity before 5 sec

2] Distance travel in last 5 seconds

Computation:

1] Initial velocity before 5 sec

v = u + at

0 = u + (-8)(5)

u - 40 = 0

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

2] Distance travel in last 5 seconds

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (40)(5) + (1/2)(-8)(5²)

s = 200 - 100

Distance travel in last 5 seconds = 100 m

Suggest one reason why the experiment might not have given a correct value for
the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Answers

Answer:

It is because some of the heat is lost in the surroundings.

Explanation:

To calculate the specific heat of the metal, the following steps are performed.

Take a piece of metal whose mass and the initial temperature is known.

Now take a beaker filled with some measured amount of water and the temperature of water is known.

Drop the heated metal piece in the water so that the equilibrium is reached.

According to the principle of calorimetery,

Heat lost by the metal = heat gained by the water

here, some of the heat is lost in the surroundings so we don't get the correct value of the specific heta of the metal.

If a driver makes contact with a steering wheel during a 35 mph crash, she comes to rest in about Δ=15 ms. If, during an identical crash, the driver makes contact with an air bag, she comes to rest in about Δ=110 ms. What is the ratio of the force exerted by the steering wheel to the force exerted by the air bag on the driver?

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of forces is 22 : 3.

Explanation:

Case I:

initial velocity, u = 35 mph

final velocity, v = 0

time, t = 15 ms

Case II:

initial velocity, u = 35 mph

final velocity, v = 0

time, t' = 110 ms

let the mass is m.

According to the Newton's second law, the force is given by the rate of change of momentum.

So

[tex]F =\frac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F'= \frac{m(v-u)}{t'}\\\\So, \frac{F}{F'} =\frac{t'}{t}\\\\\frac{F}{F'}=\frac{110}{15}=22:3[/tex]

dimension of radius of sphere​

Answers

Answer:

The dimension is L

Explanation:

Dimension analysis is a method of representing quantities majorly with respect to some fundamental quantities of mass (M), length (L), time (T).

A sphere has a definite volume which relates to its radius by:

V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex][tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{3}[/tex]

In this equation [tex]\pi[/tex] is a dimensionless quantity, and the unit of v is [tex]m^{3}[/tex].

But, metre is a measure of length, thus it has a dimension of L.

So that,

[tex]m^{3}[/tex] ≅ [tex]L^{3}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]L^{3}[/tex] = [tex]r^{3}[/tex]

Find the cube root of both sides to have,

r = L

Therefore, the dimension of the radius of a sphere is L.

A. 0.60 N, along the line tangent to the circle
B. 0.015 N, along the line tangent to the circle
C. 0.60 N, toward the center of the circle
D. 0.015 N, toward the center of the circle

Answers

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass [tex]m=0.015kg[/tex]

Radius [tex]r=0.5m[/tex]

Time [tex]t=0.70[/tex]

Generally the equation for Tension is mathematically given by

 [tex]T=\frac{4mr}{t^2} \pi[/tex]

 [tex]T=\frac{4*0.015*0.5}{(0.70)^2} (3.142)[/tex]

The pressure difference, , across a partial blockage in an artery (called a stenosis) is approximated by the equation where is the blood velocity, the blood viscosity , the blood density , the artery diameter, the area of the unobstructed artery, and the area of the stenosis. Determine the dimensions of the constants and . Would this equation be valid in any system of units

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is  :

The pressure difference, Δp, ac[tex]K_u[/tex]ross a partial blockage in an artery (called a stenosis) is approximated by the equation :

[tex]$\Delta p=K_v\frac{\mu V}{D}+K_u\left(\frac{A_0}{A_1}-1\right)^2 \rho V^2$[/tex]

Where V is the blood velocity, μ the blood viscosity {FT/L2}, ρ the blood density {M/L3}, D the  artery diameter, [tex]A_0[/tex] the area of the unobstructed artery, and A1 the area of the stenosis.  Determine the dimensions of the constants [tex]K_v[/tex] and [tex]K_u[/tex]. Would this equation be valid in any  system of units?

Solution :

From the dimension homogeneity, we require :

[tex]$\Delta p=K_v\frac{\mu V}{D}+K_u\left(\frac{A_0}{A_1}-1\right)^2 \rho V^2$[/tex]

Here, x means dimension of x. i.e.

[tex]$[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]=\frac{[K_v][ML^{-1}T^{-1}][LT^{-1}]}{[L]}+[K_u][1][ML^{-3}][L^2T^{-2}]$[/tex]

                    [tex]$=[K_v][ML^{-1}T^{-2}]+[K_u][ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$[/tex]

So, [tex]$[K_u]=[K_v]=[1 ]=$[/tex] dimensionless

So, [tex]K_u[/tex] and [tex]K_v[/tex]  are dimensionless constants.

This equation will be working in any system of units. The constants [tex]K_u[/tex] and [tex]K_v[/tex] will be different for different system of units.

a body of mass 5kg moving on a horizontal ground has a coefficient of friction 0.36.find the normal reaction acting on the body?​

Answers

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 5 Kg

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.36

Normal reaction (N) =?

Next, we shall determine the weight of the body. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 5 × 10

W = 50 N

Finally, we shall determine the normal reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) = 50 N

Normal reaction (N) =?

Normal reaction = weight of the body

N = W = 50 N

Thus, the normal reaction acting on the body is 50 N

A. 13.3 m
B. 30 m
C. 5 m
D. 21.5 m

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 30 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 1.5 m/s

Time = 20 seconds

To find the distance travelled;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Making distance the subject of formula, we have;

[tex] Distance = speed * time [/tex]

Substituting into the above formula, we have;

[tex] Distance = 1.5 * 20 [/tex]

Distance = 30 meters

15. You are watching a baseball game on television that 15

being broadcast from 4500 km away. The batter hits

the ball with a loud "crack" of the bat. A microphone

is located 22 m from the batter, and you are 2.0 m from

the television set. On a day when sound travels 343 m/s

in air, what is the minimum time it takes for you to hear

the crack of the bat after the batter hits the ball?

Answers

Answer:

t_total = 6.99 s

Explanation:

It asks us how long it takes to hear the sound, for this we must look for the time (t₁) it takes for the sound to reach the microphone, the time it takes for the video signal (t₂) to reach the television and the time (₃) it takes for the TV sound to reach us, so the total delay time is

         t_total = t₁ + t₂ + t₂

we look for t1, it indicates that the distance x = 22m

          v = x / t

           t = x / v

           t₁ = 22/343

           t₁ = 6.41 10-2 s

time t₂

          t₂ = 4500 103/3 108

          t₂ = 1.5 10-5 s

time t₃

          t₃ = 2/343

          t₃ = 5.83 10⁻³

Total time is

         t_total = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

         t_total = 6.41 10⁻² + ​​1.5 10⁻⁵ + 0.583 10⁻²

         t_total = 6.99 s
